We had a lovely walk in Rivelin Valley with nursery children this week.

The children spotted signs of Spring using pictures on their lanyards. They spotted daffodils, leaf buds, catkins and blossom, among other things.

We walked to the duck pond and fed the ducks. While we were at the duck pond, the children used their lanyards to identify the different types of duck they saw. We found mallard ducks, moorhens, mandarin ducks and even a geese.

On the way back, we were lucky enough to spot a heron.
