Witton Mill Meadows

After shopping this morning in town we drove to Witton Mill Meadows which is about 5 minutes from centre of town. Amazing to see all the reeds, trees budding and the sound of distant woodpecker. Sat on a bench watching the clouds. Some cheeky twitchers passed by - one said "Oh look a love birds nest - mind you don't get pregnant!" Lots of dog walkers too. A scruffy hound peed up the end of the bench and the owner said "It's alright - they are freindly". Yes, but still - peeing right next to us - a bit too friendly! The woodpecker seemed to be getting nearer. We looked into the tree tops but couldn't spot it. Lots of bluebells bursting through the under growth. It will be a blaze of blue in a months time!
