Turning A Corner?

As I drove to the lake I glanced into a field,I noticed two deer,not native but escapees from a nearby estate,extinct in the wild,except of course,this field in Bedfordshire!! They were Pere David's Deer.A nice start to the day.
The air was warm and as I walked down to Pampas Point I was greeted by three of the Canadian "Hoodies"

Buzzing bugs flew around my head and a Cock Linnet sang loudly from atop a Siver Birch,I didn't 'Dilly Dally' and set about my days fishing.
Refreshingly a Westerly wind blew upon me and the Kite was spotted soaring on thermals.The scene seemed eons away from the snow storm of just a few weeks ago.
A look in the margins revealed new growth.....

...and old Esox..Can you see him?

After a few hours I departed through 'The Avenue' to another swim.On the way I saw a few more signs of cheer as the Woodpecker pecked away and Blackbirds scarpered noisily.The buds of Pussy Willow emerging..

....and Daffodils waking from their Winter slumber.

One thing that eludes me though is my mate the Kingfisher,I hope he and his lady are well.I sometimes think I hear him but can't be sure.

What of the fishing then?Well the lake was kind and I had a good day.I've decided not to continue playing the numbers game on this blog unless I catch a pb, so will not be giving weights,doubtless it's of no interest to the reader anyway.We will just enjoy the fish for what they are.Here's a couple of fine mint Roach to please the eye..


In conclusion,animals are pairing up,birds are staking claim to territory,the shoots of recovery push through the soil and 'the fishing is easy'...not quite 'Summertime'...but maybe Spring?
Did I also see a rather large Tench roll?
