Today I was determined to get out and about, even if just for a short while. So I went to the local lakes for a brief stroll with baby in pushchair. I always love going here as the main lake is just beautiful and in the summer swimmers, wind sailers and other water sports can be spotted.
As I walked round I realised how much I had never really stopped to take in all the little wildlife.
First I spotted a snail snugly tucked under a leaf.
Then I came across loads of beautiful blue damselflies.
I have walked round this lake hundreds of times and never noticed damselflies, and yet there were hundreds of them.
There was also the usual residents, the geese.
They were hoping I had food, but today I did not.
Also spotted but didn't manage to get pictures of more hens, tits, sparrows and gulls.
And just caught some ducks hiding away.
One thing this has taught me is to open my eyes to nature more and not just the obvious residents, as you miss out on the little things.
