Moor Copse Nature Reserve, Tidmarsh Berkshire
Popped down to this small reserve for an hour this morning, walked along the banks of the River Pang and although it was a dismal overcast morning, thoroughly enjoyed the brief visit.

Took these two views with my mobile phone, as I only had the telephoto lens with me on the Olympus, not bad considering, but will take some new ones of the river late spring. :)

A couple of hours at Moor Copse
Dropped in on the reserve, for the first time in a few months, the woods were alive with birdsong, all of the usual suspects were there, Robin, Wren, Great tit, Blue tit, Chaffinch, Coal tit, Blackcap, Songthrush, Blackbird, Nuthatch, Red Kite, Carrion Crow, Mallard, plus the Chiffchaffs were everywhere on the fringe of the wood calling from tree to tree. Heard several Green Woodpeckers, but didn't manage to spot one and a Buzzard was circling for most of my visit.
Primroses were everywhere, plus the odd patch of Daffodils, a few Dandelions and what looked like buttercups. Also saw my first Orange tip butterfly of the year, no photo though, a few Peacock Butterflies and a couple of Commas.
