Looking Sharp

I stood in the cold wind and mizzle this morning, wrapped up in my winter clothes, staking out a nest in a glasshouse drainpipe. It turned out that the hole I had my lens trained on was the wrong one. I eventually got shots of quite a jaunty great tit parent attending. I'll try for better tomorrow.

After lunch I went for a walk at Amwell Nature Reserve for the first time in a while. The Dragonfly Trail is open but I wasn't expecting to see dragons in this weather. I did spot a few torpid damsels, including my first large red of the season.
