It may feel like spring, but you go out and it certainly doesn't feel like spring. The other day I had a walk out onto Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Eycott Hill reserve. There were some good views, inbetween the snow, sleet and hail showers! The highlight however, was finding a marsh fritillary caterpillar ....so cute and an important record as they were first recorded there last year.

| Snow showers! |

| Towards Carrock Fell. |
 |
| Sharp Edge onto Blencathra. |
 |
| A splash of colour ...parsley fern. |
 |
| Meadow pipit. |
