Lovely photos Brian - I remember how I used to love hiding in hollow trees when I was a boy!
Beautiful morning here, so I did a variation of my most frequent short local walk, through Whipsnade Heath to Whipsnade Downs and back through Whipsnade and Holywell.

The next two photos are just to make agrumpycow even grumpier!
They are the views she might have enjoyed if she'd been to Whipsnade Zoo today instead of last Sunday!

I saw my first butterflies of the year (Brimstones) and a couple of Bullfinches. The wildflowers are gradually emerging - I saw some more Lesser Celandine and my first Violets of the year.
