I had a walk around the Avenue Washland Nature Reserve for my #wednesdaywalk initiated by . It was a lovely sunny day but still a nip in the air. I parked up and walked around the sports pitch to start off with.
I could see the crooked spire in the distance which is the church in my home town. There have been many thoughts as to why it is twisted, one being the use of unseasoned wood, a lack of skilled labour, or the fact they used heavy lead sheeting later on in the 17th century. SourceI can remember as a child thinking that every church was twisted!
Going past one of the man-made ponds there was a heron, goosander and a cormorant sat together. I don't see many cormorants in the village but we seem to have a pair visiting us at the moment.
I was a little too far away to get good shots but it was good to see something different.
Walking back through the village I don't think I've seen so much fungi in one spot before. No idea what it was though.
The weeping willow (or whatever its called) always changes to a lovely yellow and brown colour this time of year.
Ten minutes after I got home the heavens opened and we had torrential rain and then the sun came back out. Typical british weather.
