Here’s hoping the other adult returns to the fold.22nd January - Swan Family
Today we saw this family of last years cygnets with one of the adults on the canal. It feels lovely to see the swans as, sadly, we have seen several dead lately, either through predation or by the avian fluenza that seems very prevalent this year in our area. It is believed to have come over with migratory birds that arrive in the autumn. I just hope the other adult has not lost its’ life.

Pretty, love the rays.23rd January - Two Suns
Although today was predominantly cloudy, the sun did appear for a short while and managed to capture the sun’s rays reflected in the water creating 2 suns!

Ah, lovely. I’m going to miss being close to a canal. We have loads of swans on ours too. I always used to keep a bag of proper swan pellets in my car and haven’t done it for a while.22nd January - Swan Family

Fabulous Idea30th January - Information Bench
Usually they are information boards, but on the Grantham canal, these benches have begun to appear at various points along the canal. I really like this idea.

Interesting!1st February - Ammunition Dumps
Alongside the canal by Redmile village is the old station area where there is a field that isn’t the usual flat farm fields. This has large mounds around which, during the Second World War the RAF buried ammunition here away from their base at Langar a few miles away. The ammunition is gone but the mounds remain to remind you of what was there in the past. View attachment 176271

We won’t get our first Spring blooms until late March at the earliest.3rd February - Aconites and Snowdrops
As it was brighter today the Aconites and Snowdrops opened up to greet the sun. Lovely to see a bit of colour when it’s been fairly dull in the garden.
