Spring will be upon us soon (I hope)

Hello everyone,
It's been a cold few weeks and not always conducive to going out for a walk, Observations are inevitably a bit thin on the ground at this time of year, especially if it has snowed!
However, I have noticed when walking in the Ochre Dyke and Hanging Lea woodlands that the bluebells, Dogs Mercury and Cuckoo Pint are starting to shoot up out of the woodland floor, and today the sun is shining. So, hopefully spring is not too far over the horizon.

Ochre Dyke woodland has now been included on the Ancient Woodland Inventory by Natural England and Hanging Lea Woodland should follow shortly.

A very short post today but hopefully more will follow in the coming weeks.
Enjoy watching the fields awaken again with the spring sunshine (and rain probably).
