Early blossom in Bingley!

Round the corner from where I live in Bingley is a tree which blossoms really early, it's usually in full pink glory by February and I love it for that as it brightens up the greyest of winter skies.

I noticed its buds well on their way this morning. On trying to focus on the blossom - I saw a starling on the chimney pots behind. I took a few pics, half focusing on the blossom and half on the starling who was obviously enjoying the sun up there.

I decided on the blossom though - because it's pretty on a January day! :)
