Birds at Kew Gardens

I took advantage of a sunny afternoon when I arrived in Richmond to give a  talk toRichmond and Twickenham club in the evening and visited Kew Gardens. First some birds around the Lake. Coots as always were the dominant bird chasing off all other species including the Canada Geese. The reflection of the sky and trees on the water added to the fun for the afternoon. Flowers and general scenes to follow.

Orchid Extravaganza at Kew

Visited the Orchid display at Kew yesterday morning. The main display was in the Princess of Wales Conservatory and had every possible colour of orchid.

In the Victoria Waterlily house, I used the fisheye to get in the whole building and display.

The Exhibition is finishes on the 7th March so you probably need to put it in the diary for next year

The crocuses opened in a brief spell of sunshine and snowdrops are at their best.
