More beautiful photographs from David Critchley.

(the first ones are of a Dunnock chick and mother that have been hanging around in my garden for the last few days)

During these difficult times it is nice to be reminded of some nicer things going on in the world.

Local photographer David Critchley writes –

“I bumped into Kate Giles yesterday and said it might be nice for residents who can’t get out at the moment to have some photos of Spring to look at.

So, I will try and get something over to you most days that will be a range of wildlife, spring flowers and landscapes from the local area whilst I am out walking my dog (there might also be a few of him). I’ll try and get some of local residents if I can during this isolation.

The first ones are of a Dunnock chick and mother that have been hanging around in my garden for the last few days.”

Nice one David.
