Something Different Each Day

As spring makes its very slow appearance there is something different to see almost everyday.

Early morning shadows stretch across the middle moor.  The darker grass of a 'fairy ring' (where there is a presence of fungi) can still be seen. 

This frogspawn has an alien quality to it.

Lesser Celandine leaves have been recorded along Risedale Beck and on the moor, but not a flower bud has been seen, so it was a lovely surprise when this one one found wide open, in the sunshine on the moor.

Something white caught the eye.  On closer inspection it was found to be a thistle seed head, probably a Spear Thistle, that had not released its seeds.  By now the seeds are unlikely to germinate, for which the volunteers will be really pleased!
