With the arrival of spring and me still not returned to work we get to walk a bit (sanctioned by my occupational therapist
)
In our travels we pictured these beautiful common vipers sunning themselves in the sun on Liss common in Hampshire.

That was last Friday but on the Sat we walked on Hayling island and as the light of day was fading we spotted a seal hunting for fish in Langstone harbour. Up until a couple of years ago I had never seen a seal in Langstone but this is the second time as the last was off Thorney island and that time we saw several on a mud bank and were surprised at how big they are.
When as a child I walked in Pook lane Warblington I found out that frogs can withstand being frozen in ice as found them so. Forward fifty years to last weekend we found frog spawn in exactly the same place that I had made that astonishing discovery.
Wildlife has always fascinated me and is a totally free pleasure which is handy when you are not earning much
