At the weekend, down at the goose pond, we spotted our annual visitors. They arrive each spring, build a nest and raise a brood.

I walked down to see them this morning but when I got too close they flew off

On the Friday walk with my friend and one of her dogs (the other dog hid because he didn’t want to go for a walk!) we spotted this flower on the verge

A member of the buttercup family, it flowers in late winter and early spring. It looks pretty but is poisonous to humans and other mammals.
Archie has finished his work here and has gone back to his own goat smallholding in a nearby village. Bye bye Archie, you have been a delightful visitor.
