  1. I've been really busy the last few months with family things and have also been involved with the clear up sessions in our local #CommunityWoodland.

  2. And, finally.

    The last photo from the #CommunityWoodland group work yesterday. Apart from the main woodland we also own this path and the rough/waste* ground on the right. The path got cleared yesterday.

    * no ground is "waste" but this has been used as a dumping ground / fly tipping area for decades. There's numerous layers of garden waste and other wood and building waste.

  3. Busy day, today

    Tree planting - here it was 4 Hazel trees. Hopefully, in time, they will produce nuts for the local red squirrels. The tree protectors are made from fully biodegradable material.

    Then, a litter pick in the woodland. Much less litter than the last time.

    A great time was had.

  4. Yellow Archangel

    This is the #Yellow #Archangel plant. It is a very new introduction to the UK and it is estimated that it came into the country in the late 1960s. It has now made its way into #woodlands.

  5. Welcome To The Woodlands

    While I’ve looked at these plants individually, I think they make a really lovely welcoming entrance to the #woodland. On the left hand side of the path are #blue, #pink and #white #bluebells, while on the right hand side are beautiful white #greater #stitchwort.

  7. Bee on Whin

    There are several whin (Ulex europaeus) bushes in the woodland. I was particularly pleased when I was photographing this bush as a bee photobombed the photo and landed on one of the flowers.

  8. Tuberous Comfrey

    There’s a large patch of #tuberous #comfrey in the #woodland. This is a very interesting plant as it was originally recorded as being native to #Scotland where it is thought to have originated as a #medicinal #plant.

  9. Greater Stitchwort

    I think these are beautiful little native wildflowers which appear every year in the woodland. Every time I see them I feel that spring really has arrived.

  10. Dandelion Seedhead

    What a seed-head! I have been watching all the dandelions turning from flowers into these large fluffy seed-heads.

  11. Chickweed Wintergreen

    There’s a section in the woodland which is full of native species. I found these beautiful little #Chickweed #Wintergreen #flowers around the edges of the paths in that area.

  12. Broom

    I particularly like the Broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the spring as it looks really vibrant.

  13. Great Wood Rush

    Parts of the woodland are teeming with the native #Great #Wood-#Rush. This photo was taken in April 2023 and is a lovely closeup of the flower head.

  14. Fairy Inkcap Fungi

    I often think of #mushrooms as being around in the autumn, but some species are around at different times of the year. There was a mass of these #Fairy #Inkcap #Fungi, also known as #Fairies’ #Bonnets, on a decaying tree stump.

  15. Bracken Fronds

    When I was out for a walk I noticed these beside the edge of the road. I was delighted to catch a photo of these #bracken #fronds before they #uncurled. When they are #curled up like this I always thing they look like something from another planet.

  16. Grape Hyacinth

    Just inside the #woodland was a small patch of #Grape #Hyacinths (Muscari altanticum). I had originally thought they may have escaped from some of the nearly gardens but on further research realised that they are native to the area.

  17. Insect on Bluebell

    I’ll confess – I didn’t actually notice the #insect when I was taking the photo, I only noticed it once I uploaded it to the computer. I was actually taking a photo of these #bluebells. I really liked their colour as they are #white but with a subtle hint of #pink.

  18. Downy Birch Catkins

    I find the different catkins incredibly interesting. The Downy Birch has both male and female catkins. The long lighter coloured catkins in this photo are the male catkins. While the female catkins are standing erect. As you can see they appear together on the same branches.

  19. Daffodils

    As the woodland is bordered by houses we sometimes see “stray” #flowers in the #woodland. This lovely little bunch of #daffodils did just that. I really like how the early #spring #sunshine is streaming through the #woodland.

  20. Wood Anemone

    There were 2 little flowers amongst all the undergrowth on a bank of plants. They looked quite spectacular and very different from a normal wood anemone. When I investigated it further I found that it was wood anemone Alba Plena (Anemone nemorosa alba plena).

  21. Garlic Mustard

    This plant has very distinctive leaves and has several heads of #white #flowers. It took be quite some time to identify it as there are so many white #umbel type #plants but eventually I decided it was #Garlic #Mustard (Alliaria petiolata).

  22. Spiders Web on Great Wood Rush

    How spectacular is this. This #great #wood #rush #flowerhead has been turned into a massive #spiders #web – if you look closely you will see the spiders web extends down the stalk of the plant. In addition there looks to be some seedheads also caught up in the cobweb.

  23. Daisy

    These are a really common flower in this area but there aren’t a massive number in the woodland. There is a little #insect on one of the #daisy (Bellis perennis) #flowers.

  24. Cow Parsley

    This #Cow #Parsley took me a while to identify - I had to go back to basics and identify by leaf type, leaf positions and flower head, as well as the location it was growing.
