Wildlife Extravaganza...

What a week! Helsbury has really come alive over the past few days, masses of birdlife and wild flowers were topped when Solly and I walked into a small herd of deer in the woods, which are bedecked in bluebells and primroses and are looking stunning. The was topped today when Leza saw an Otter playing in our pond! She was thrilled as we know how hard they are to spot, unfortunately it was probably tempted by the ducks on the pond which had decided to take refuge up at the house!

Other spots include grey wagtails, goldfinch, greenfinch, buzzards [nesting on site], heron and masses of wild flowers.
