Had a nice wander up to Belmont Tower, the folly adjacent to Belton House. The woods behind it were singing with Nuthatches and I heard a Woodpecker too. I saw three deer and a squirrel but no mushrooms. It’s been so dry that the mud pathways were cracked. We could do with a good downpour to power all the spring mycelium into action! . . . #belmonttower #beltonhouse #woodlandwalk #londonthorpewoods #violets #wildflowers #aprilday #treesofinstagram (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNqBHi_BYmo/?igshid=1himlm58vz5kk
