This was one of the nicer afternoons of February, although not as warm as the previous two days. So I took the footpath through the College's equine unit until I reached the meadow just upstream through which the River Bourne meanders. The beautiful meadow and the river meanders edged with alders are just gorgeous, even in the thin winter sunshine of a February afternoon.
The occasional clump of snowdrops brightens the banks. Here you can also see the "witches broom" of some of the alder bases - a few have this dense thicket effect that may be physiological.
