River Mersey close to Chorlton Water Park
A new dawn arrives. Mid February we’re still in lockdown but I’ve been jabbed and finally it feels like winter is beginning to lose its grip.
Mica inkcaps in Kenworthy Wood
The first daffodils appearing in Kenworthy Wood. Always a welcome sign .
Although similar to the wild Daffodil I think these are one of the older varieties. Probably dates back to when the wood was used for tipping following the excavation of the gravel for use in the construction of the M60.
Quite a few oddities and other garden escapees to be found.
Dog Violet
Small Tortoiseshell – quite a late appearance with the first ones being seen during the final week of March and this particular one on the 3rd April. Still relatively cold compared to more recent Springs. Still ridiculously busy with the lockdown continuing.
