Spring flowers

Monday, March 29th 2010

There has been a cold wind all day today but that didn't stop visitors enjoying the sunshine.

The Primroses are starting to open on the newly coppiced Hazel bank and all along the steep banks of the ditches Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage is showing its golden flowers.

At the back of the field centre this afternoon a tiny Goldcrest, Europe's smallest bird, was seen.

The bird-ringers were busy - but not ringing birds! They were using their sewing skills to mend the fine nets which are used to trap the birds.
