My favourite March-April park is Sam Smith. Hands down.
Its because of the grebes. They're incredibly funny.

When I retired a year ago I figured I better try to keep my health and stay in ( whatever) shape I have.  I started walking. I've pulled in my belt 2 notches and gone down a pant size!

During one of my walks in December I met "Bird Brain", a member of South Peel Naturalists. Enjoying nature more now has become a whole new dimension for me as well, and I am totally enjoying it.

I found this gem at Sam's as well, but I can't identify it!
