Damp walk, Worcester: Monday, 12th March, 2018.

15:15-ish.

Barely stepped outside and we have our first wildlife encounter:

A frog.

Time for International Frog Rescue to persuade it to return to a more natural habitat.

Old-fella's view of a frog that's been persuaded (it took a while) to return to the undergrowth.

Ducks uninterested in some interesting tree bark in Gheluvelt Park.

Well, we think it's interesting.

Robin.

Up a tree by the racecourse.

Old fella blowing his nose.

Hard.

Vicky strides homeward.

A Robin up a tree in the park.

Same Robin on the ground and all puffed-up 'cos there's a rival Robin just out of shot.

Same Robin. Right profile.

We see this Robin every time we walk along here so this isn't 

the first and wont be the last time we photograph him.

Other birds seen today but too quick to photograph:

Kingfisher; Green Woodpecker; Greater Spotted Woodpecker; Thrushes; Redwings; Long Tailed Tits; Great Tit; Blackbirds; Magpies; Pigeons; Mallards and Swans.

So, a good walk then.

Croome Park walk (with Roger): Wednesday, 7th March, 2018.

11:00-ish.

View across the park to The Malverns.

Note swollen river in mid-distance.

We're trying to stick (not literally) to the high ground today.

Still quite muddy in places tho'.

Feeding of the 5…..um….dozen, Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Monday, 5th March, 2018.

14:00-ish:

'Gorranybread?

The ducks have cornered us.

We feel guilty and have to admit that, yes, we have just returned from M & S 

and we do, indeed, have some bread.

Ducks eye view of the woman with the bread.

Vicky seems very pleased with her efforts.

Swans and a gull (mine!) try to get in on the action.

They all get their fair share.

'Quack!'

Some satisfied customers.

Walking into town, Worcester: Saturday, 3rd March, 2018.

12:15-ish.

No wind today (to speak of). 

It's like we are almost overdressed.

Almost.

Beast From The East aftermath, Worcester: Friday, 2nd March.

11:30-ish.

There's a reasonable covering of snow in Gheluvelt Park

but we conclude that Worcester has got off lightly.

It's more exposed on The Racecourse

and the wind is now from the south-east.

12:30-ish.

Back home safe and sound.

It's supposed to snow all afternoon but the weather warning 

has been downgraded from Amber to Yellow.

Pitchcroft, Worcester: Thursday, 1st March, 2018.

11:30-ish.

Beast From The East - is this all yer got?

Crombe Park walk (with Roger): Wednesday, 28th February, 2018.

11:15-ish.

It's been a 'raw' walk today.

No points for guessing why we didn't tackle The Malverns.

Properly 'raw' up there.
