Today we made our first visit of the year to Wrest Park.
Everywhere was looking lovely and particularly the Italian Garden which this season has been planted with beautiful red daisies.
We spotted the resident heron although on this occasion he wasn't in his usual spot.
As well as the usual swans, ducks and Canadian geese we also saw an Egyptian Goose which we've never seen before at Wrest Park.
We saw several of these plants in the borders and were curious as to what they were Google says it is an Oriental Paperbush (Edgeworthia Chrysantha)
In the meadow we spotted our first cowslips of the year....
.... and the heirloom Petticoat Daffodils which English Heritage have planted in recent years at some of their sites to try and save from hybrids and non-traditional varieties.
