Another bright sunny day for our walk. This time we started from Sence with frost.
Just around the corner from this second shot we were lucky to see two swans flying low alongside us.
Blue sky through the overhead branches,
and a typical new planting. We think that was the path ahead, blocked now by the new fencing, but we found our way around.
A typical scene for this part of Leicestershire. With the pre-enclosure field patterns just visible under the grassland. Bucolic now but maybe not such a welcome site to the people who had ploughed the land.
We saw more trees with mossy 'skirts'. This time however these were small twigs, don't be fooled by the angle of the photo.
Not such a rich walk for bird life, although it was wonderful to see and hear Skylarks and watch them displaying in February. We did see a couple of 'mystery' birds that we eventually decided were Mistlethrushes. Only one Buzzard and a valiant few Robins.
No photos of the mud because we were too busy hanging onto the fences and trees to keep clear of it.
In all the step counter estimated that we had covered 14 miles!
