Montpelier Park!

A cool but sunny morning - some bird activity in the park including a pair of Great Tits, a Blue Tit or two, a couple of male Blackbirds fighting, a pair of Robins (one flicking its tail so presumably a display), a singing Wren and a couple of Woodpigeons.

There were some insects too - my first Sawfly of the year was very sluggish in the cool weather - normally they race around - a Buff-tailed Bumblebee was also enjoying the sunshine. I'm 99% sure there was a Hairy-footed Flower Bee too but it just did not stop flying so I couldn't photograph it.

Green Alkanet was coming into flower and both Lesser Celandine and White Dead-nettle also in flower.
