Walk About

 Well its 3 weeks to the day that I had my knee operation . So today I thought that I would give walking around the Cemetery Grounds a go !

I did not see a lot but it was great to get out again . The main bird seen was a European Green Woodpecker also seen were a few Grey Squirrel , a Speckled Wood Butterfly and a Migrant Hawker Dragonfly .
