Still Bitter for a Local Patch Walk.

 It was still bitingly cold and only 5C for my walk around the cemetery and woodland burial ground this morning, but the sun did manage to put in an appearance. The steady force 3 breeze from the SE kept temperatures down and reminded my for a second time that I had put on enough clothes.

Again things were quiet on the bird front with today only 15 species but I was pleased to see a curlew on Wintingham school field. I was greatly surprised to see that a hawthorn in the woodland burial ground had opened its leaves. The year moves on by the day. I only had my phone with me for photography and, parr for the course, it ran out of battery just as I lined up to take the shot, so below is one with leaves and blossom from April 2022, a reminder of warmer days to come.
