One of my target species for the spring was to see a pink-flowered plant called Mezereon, so we headed down to the Brecks and Weeting Heath, where thanks to some good directions we found quite a bit of it. The unexpected highlight was the rookery, which is stretched out either side of one of the paths. Rooks are one of our favourite birds (there is a picture of one up in the house!) and it was great to look up and see them wheeling overhead as they swooped down onto their nests. We also found several eggshells on the path, allowing us to get a close up view of an egg you would normally only see if you were in the treetops.
