I managed to tempt Kev out from his wood turning in the garage, and off we went.
Swimming in the large ponds were two swans with a gaggle of little cygnets in tow.
Also working in the waters were a couple of naturalists (note to self: check spelling of this :) ) investigating the fauna in the ponds. They had set up humane traps to temporarily capture crested newts, allowing them to be counted. The newts would be released afterwards.
I took lots of photos, mainly of wild flowers, worthy of a place in the scrapbooks.
Buttercup
Dog (wild) rose
Wild iris
Cow parsley
Foxglove
Ragged robin
Such a simple pleasure, but I'm so glad we made the effort.

How lovely. What park is this.? I live in Coventry and am always looking for nice places to walk. Lovely photos too x
Prologis country park, off Winding House Lane, in Ash Green just north of the city border... not far from the Ricoh.
