Exotic-looking tree blossom (species unknown?)
At lunchtime the wind had changed to a SW and although breezy it felt warmer. A shrub and tree on the research land were in full blossom, the later was 'humming' with bees. I wandered over to Ditton Quarry which was fairly quiet apart from a Kestrel (with lots of it's pellets scattered around), Goldcrest and a few charms of Goldfinches.

A Smooth Newt was found under a refugia.

Most unusual find of the day had to go to this:
...a 34D bra hanger, in bright pink....wonder what the story behind that was...or perhaps I don't! Amazing what gets discarded in the most unlikely of places, needless to say I didn't see the person who had discarded it.

Hi Adam, nice bright blossom pic. sorry I can't help with the ID. Thanks for the Saturn info, that sounds easy enough, it was a little cloudy last night so I'll keep an eye on the weather.
Cheers

A nice photo. Certainly would have been a pair of Blue Tits walking around like that!
Adam ,
Can't place the shrub in flower , but the tree flower has the look of a female flower of an Alder species , but I wouldn't put money on it .
As to the hanger , I was hoping to to upgrade Marc's Blue Tits to Great Tits , but Carol tells me that 34D is 'about average' , so I guess Marc has it with the Blue ones .
No Tit jokes from me Adam........maybe a Redbreast one though :-)
Glad you've got regular Nuthatch now mate
Greenie - glad my blog post prompted you to hold a conversation about Bra sizes - we've all learnt been educated(is that really average??!) Marc I agree that the cold would have had an effect but at least I was safe in the knowledge they weren't Penduline Tits!
