Birds, Animals and Plants on Walk to Yacht Club

What a wonderfully sunny (can I say spring) day last Saturday for our walk to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club with Tilly.  I know some of you are still experiencing very cold and snowy weather so I hope this post brightens up your day.  These photographs were all taken on this walk so perhaps you could grab a cuppa, put it into slide mode and just enjoy.  These flowers below certainly are all spring flowers.

This shot was taken through a hedge and I hope you can see the carpet of Snowdrops.

On this walk, that is all off road, a lot of the land belongs to Quarr Abbey and in this shot you can see they keep the hedge cut down and provide a seat so that you can take in the view with the sea in the distance.  Below are 3  horses.

This is Quarr Abbey which I have written about in a previous post (see in labels if interested)

We stopped at another seat and waited for these horses to pass us.

The Monks look after Bees.

This is the tender belonging to the Yacht Club named Victoria that Gillian and Chris took Tilly on.  (yesterday's post)

Tilly checking out the flotation aids on the boat.  That dog is no fool!

Buoy

Raft past its sell by date!

Just behind the raft was the Wightlink Ferry coming in.

Mooring Buoy

 We popped into the Yacht Club for a drink and this is

 one of two of their stain glass doors.

 On walking homeward, there were quite a number of small woodland birds around however they were all too busy courting or feeding and the Robin was the only one who wanted his photograph taken!

The round balls on these tree are the Mistletoe plant.

There were wonderful fluffy clouds present against the blue sky.

Lovely to see the red Tulips and white Crocus.

 Wonderful colours of the Mahonia japonica

Now I didn’t know what kind of Sheep they were, however Trevor from The Herald informs me that the brown/black ones are Shetland and the ones with spots are Jacob sheep.  Thanks Trevor.

A stand off and that Sheep is saying to this Jackdaw, 'This is our field, clear off'!

 As we approahced home, we were meet with this 

beautiful bank of blue Anenome blanda.

Many thanks for visiting today and
