You would not believe how difficult these photos were – the Swan was feeding and constantly dipping into the water. Moving target...! 😆

Hawfinch

Perched in a yew tree today. From a short visit to the Forest Of Dean.

I called in at RSPB Nagshead yesterday and saw no wildflowers there at all. Not one. But I had more luck elsewhere in Parkend while stopping to get some food. This one looks to be Barren Strawberry. #WildflowerHour #ForestOfDean #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Four small and easily-overlooked flowers from town roadsides in the #ForestOfDean yesterday (Lydney and Parkend). Ivy-leaved Speedwell, Field Forgetmenot, Hairy Bittercress and Thale Cress. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

We were asked for #GardenEscapes this week for #WildflowerHour. Lots of escaped Primroses in the #ForestOfDean yesterday, growing in streets near houses that had them planted in their gardens. This one at the old #Lydney Town station looks to be a garden variety with its deeper colour. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers
