This was the scene in the woods a few days ago:
But bizarrely, just a week earlier, I'd taken photos of the signs of Spring emerging, such as leaves on this Elder:
Bluebells making good progress:
And Dog's Mercury growing well:
But the snow had come down, though not as thickly as in some parts of the UK.
I topped up the bird feeder for the small birds, and this pheasant was straight over to collect what I'd spilled...
Not much use to the treecreeper though, which went about its business looking for food in an oak tree:
Of course, not all the animals in wood get on together, I found a trail of blood in the snow too. Well, at least someone didn't go hungry...
The snow's melted now, so hopefully the progress towards Spring can resume shortly...
