Spotted Laurel - Aucuba japonica finding a bit of this in various parts of the valley - I think someone is putting cuttings in

Take Care

Another Damp morning

 Hawk Kill? I am not sure as the feathers looked chewed but I suppose that could have been done after by fox or dog.

 Spotted Laurel  - Aucuba japonica

Wilson's Honeysuckle - Lonicera nitida

Take Care

Wednesday 17 February

Cool this morning, below freezing again. Wandered up to the Barrow field looking for the deer, no sign of them not even a footprint.

We ended up walking back through Burgh Wood, the woodpecker was drumming, could not see it.

More snowdrops out.

Plus this Spotted Laurel - Aucuba japonica, another I have never seen out side of a garden before. This is probably a bird sowing after eating the berries, a popular garden shrub/hedge plant.

The swans having a quiet moment.
