A sign of spring

Temperatures go up and down , spring isn't far away but winter is still here.

 During a short walk I made several small sketches.
The group of trees is a stand alone in the fields , standing there for years.  A bike path and a walking path  go right beside it, so it is probably to busy nowadays,  but some time ago when  there was only meadow around it , it was a favourite  resting  place for the buzzards.
On several places the yellow flowers of the coltsfoot are popping out of the ground. One day there are none , next day countless! First signs of spring !
The blue heron looks a bit strange  .
I touched the the ink before it dried properly, giving the heron a weird smudge on his head . I like weird birds.......
