Beginning a New Year at the Butterfly Park

We hope everyone enjoyed a peaceful Christmas and New Year. Here are some January photographs from New Ferry Butterfly Park.

One hazel bush is out in flower already.

Guelder rose berries are still on the bush, a sign that the migratory thrushes like redwing have not found them yet.

The pond froze over - we have not seen that many times in recent years.

The Butterfly Park is closed to the public until May but we hope these pictures inspire you to keep looking for nature's changes through the winter. It's a great boost to wellbeing while we try to cope with the latest lockdown. As ever we would love to see any photos you take. You can email us or contact us through our Facebook page.
