Firsts of the year

The first Peacock Butterfly in the garden
and
The first Bat seen flying against a still bright sky post sunset.

A short walk from the cemetery towards Padfield that I made into a circuit (Dad would have been proud!)  even though that meant walking the road with all the speeding cars coming towards me.

Actually there was more talking than walking which was quite welcome.  Everybody I met had something to say.  I'm sure it's the binoculars that allow people to say more than hello.
