This evenings' sunset was best described as 'delicate'.
There were pastel colours in the clouds, and as it was slightly red, we are going with the 'red sky at night is a shepherds delight' (or if you are in America 'sailors' delight. You would think that as an island nation Great Britain would be more inclined to use the term sailor than a huge continent like America!
Anyway, shepherds or sailors the sky may mean no rain tomorrow, not that we had much today.
How was your day weatherwise?
The Lone Tree.
Such dreamy colours, black and white just does not do it justice.
It was the perfect evening.
Green WoodPecker on the grass.
These brightly coloured birds do not mind hunting on the ground when they find a good food source.
Hopefully he is tucking into a feast of ants and there will be less breeding in the grass later in the year.
It would seem that the plums knew what to do!
While they seem to be flowering way too early for the production of plums, the small buds appear to be a tasty treat for the small birds like this long-tailed tit.
Cute little bird, more tail than body, they do like to arrive in a flock and can monopolise the bird feeders while they are there, before flying off to the next meal.
I hope that this one will grow more splendid tail feathers before mating later in the spring.
These are some I have chosen, which do you like best?
I am still looking for others that might work.
Single Ibis
Lighthouse
Lone Tree
