The Celandines were full open in the sunshine today and the spotted leaves of the Early Purple Orchid were showing small flower spikes.

On the wetland six Lapwing were seen as well as Greylag geese and Mallard.

Flying along the margin between the wetland and the plantation, the first Brimstone butterfly of the year was fluttering along. Unfortunately, it didn't stop still at all, so no photo! The Peacock butterflies were dancing in pairs in the sunshine.
