off to the woods

I meant to make a post at some point in the week, but seemed to be busy every evening as tends to happen. The boy and I were hoping to go out for a walk somewhere today, but am currently waiting for the rain to subside. It means I get to catch up with some blogging though, so lucky you :P

Last weekend we went for a walk in the woods at South Weald, hoping to find some bluebells and possibly some black kites (maybe a bit hopeful there)...

Said hi to the chav deer before heading around the lake at South Weald and away from the 25493 other people that seem to accumulate around the car park. Weird group of deer, as they've been penned in as part of the original group of the estate, but must be sooo inbred by now. Can't say they're the finest specimens but nice for people to see I suppose.

I think I can safely say that the bluebell mission for this spring has been safely achieved... Very pretty stuff and I've even thrown in a bonus caterpillar there for your perusal (identifications please :) )

Must head off, the sun is beginning to poke out through the clouds and boy is looking a bit bored...
