| Marbury has some lovely old trees |

| The spring blossom has arrived |
A lovely sunny spring afternoon and I spent my time having a stroll around Marbury Country Park which is only a couple of miles from home. The Sand Martins have arrived in great numbers following their migration from West Africa. They were a delight to see skimming above the calm waters of the Mere.

The thing that made me smile the most though was the activity of the ducks....sorry inactivity. The Mallards were all sleeping along the shoreline and the Tufted Ducks (so active at Moore a week ago) were just floating about snoozing in the sunshine.

Andrew there are no photos and we're all having the same problem. Boom& Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Nice leisurely Sunday post, Andrew. I can only see the photos by double clicking on the small black squares.
Blogger has an image problem...Hopefully normal service will resume soon
It looks like a nice walk in your local, beautiful. Thanks for the Blogger, he is dreadfully sorry, lol.
I love the post. wonderful pictures and story.
Fantastic photos of those old trees and I like the ducks resting so quietly.
Great post. The tree in the second shot is FANTASTIC!
Lovely walk indeed, and I like the daffodils in your header!
Have a nice evening:)
All preparing for a hectic breeding season I reckon Andrew.
Hi Andrew. A perfect day of rest and relaxation plus sunshine ... what could be better than that.
What a lovely place for man and bird on a Sunday afternoon.
Just seeing the sign and that terrific tree was enough of a great invitation to see what was to be found in the park.
Nice set of images!
Thanks for your visit. :)
A great spot to visit!!
What a beautiful place! Those ducks look very content there. The tree looks like something out of a fantasy!
Great photos now,Andrew. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Your birds are beautiful Andrew and I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday. I am madly jealous of your daffodills in the header shot though. (Florida, no winter -- ergo no Spring.) (I love the first part of that, but I miss my spring flowers in Oregon (with its English-like climate)
This is a lovely setting Andrew. Your daffodil header flipped the switch on my spring fever again. If I had your address I'd send you a snowball! Hey, your last shot of the gulls on the row boat is a classic. Frame it!
Oh whoa, I miss a countryside with trees like that!
I can't even remember the feel of it :D
Love the ducks and the gulls on the boat :)
I like the shots of the old trees. It is soemthing special about them. :)
lol. Mallards are sleeping a lot over here too. :)
Some beautiful looking countryside there. I envy your sun- it's been raining here for days (weeks!)
A great post. A beautiful set of images. Bravo!
Wow, I love the trees. What a great post and photos. The sleeping duck is cute.
How well they balance on one foot while sleeping.
Great series of shots.
Lovely, lovely photos! I love the tree in the second photo-could stare at that for quite a while and I also loved the carving of the Owl on the sign (I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of waterfowl, but your photos are great!).
What a peaceful and beautiful park! The old trees are impressive! Have a nice weekend, ciao! :)
