Flowering Cherry,Weeping Willow and Forsythia give welcome spring colour to the canal side.
A Wood Pigeon gives a display flight (a steep climb and a stiff-winged glide) then does a lap of honour high above the wood.
A pair of Magpies, in fresh-looking plumage, fly out of the willow that is peppered with light-green catkins. Wrens are conspicuous in song and zipping across the canal on this fine cool evening. In the distance pink cumulus is piled up over towards the Humber.
