Springbeauty (Claytonia perfoliata) in bloom along the #ConnswaterGreenway at #CSLewisSquare in #EastBelfast.
An odd-looking plant; clusters of lovely little white flowers growing through the centre of a near-circular leaf.
The sun is out, the sky is blue and the winds are light. A perfect weekend to get out and explore.
My car, of course, has other plans. It’s sitting in the back-lot at #SmartOfBelfast waiting to be fixed.
Oh well, onto the #Glider and down to #VictoriaPark it is 
A sure sign of #summer - the #GreaterStitchwort is blooming along the #StoneyRoad in #EastBelfast.
A #GreyHeron on the #nest with two recently hatched #nestlings.
They’re not pretty but it’s great to see them still doing well, despite the best efforts of #BelfastCityAirport

This lovely #male #chaffinch was following me around #VictoriaPark this morning.

After reading reports of #waxwings in urban #EastBelfast I had to go look for myself.
What lovely #birds they are!
