Being part of a great team: what a dream….. no it’s real life! The Wollaton Hall & Park Walled Garden open day yesterday was stunning in the sun. Hundreds of people came through our welcoming gates & enjoyed all the fruits & flowers of our labours. It’s happening again today too! @fowp.bsky.social

My visits to Wollaton Hall Deer Park never disappoint. Today saw Egyptian Geese in trees, Grey Herons nesting, the inevitable deer and my first Mandarin, Green Woodpecker and Sand Martins of the year #UKBirding

I haven't seen the #Wollaton Park lake so icy in a long time
four photos: icy lake with some blue patches left and two holes in the ice, swan and duck standing in some ice free water, a long crack in the ice over the lake with trees in foreground and background, robin on a branch sticking out of ice half in shadow half in morning sun with red breast showing

Nice Xmas walk in Wollaton Park...the light was right.
The photo. One big one on the left, two smaller ones on the right. Big one of a tree silhouetted against the lake and the sky. Smaller one of lake with rotting tree trunk in the foreground; another of bare trees illuminated by icy sunshine with little island in the lake in the background.
