Yesterday's nature excitement was seeing a pair of Goldcrests in Hertford's Pinetum. They were feeding on midges and insects on a pile of Douglas Fir branches I was clearing. That came from the top of an old but weird shaped tree that had broken off in the high winds of a few days ago.

The Pinetum is looking good and the display of snow drops is looking perfect. They have an open day this Sunday with guided walks and cream teas.
