Horse chestnut buds and Great Tits



The Horse Chestnuts at the Old Mill are unfolding their leaves. I took few shots of the buds yesterday but the results were disappointing due to the low light levels, so I went back this morning to try my luck again. The day was just as grey, but I was delighted to see a pair of Great Tits nesting on the wall of the mill. The was few more of them in the trees nearby, some of them carrying nesting materials in their beaks.
