27th April we went to Tyrrell’s Wood, an ancient woodland managed by Woodland Trust. We’ve been there many times, could walk the route blindfolded. So this time we went a different way. Oh and how glad I am that we did!
Lady’s Smock formed huge spreads along the lanes: 27 April 2021 Cowslips… in abundance. Everywhere: 27 April 2021 A darker yellow, the flowers all to one side, these must be oxlips: 27 April 2021 And on alongside a footpath, a fritillary. Just one. They are rare in the wild: 27 April 2021 Cherry blossom, needs no words to describe: 27 April 2021 And apple: 27 April 2021 27 April 2021 The last of the blackthorn? Or is it bullace? 27 April 2021 Bluebells, the mark of an English woodland, were scarce: 27 April 2021 And tumbling down a bank, primroses: 27 April 2021 Water Crowfoot: 27 April 2021 Dandelions, dog’s mercury and violets cluster around a tree: 27 April 2021 Forget-me-not (and who could): 27 April 2021 Ground ivy (in places it grew mixed with the forget-me-nots): 27 April 2021
There was more, but they were more common and we’ll encounter them for a month or so more in every place we go. Hope you’ve enjoyed these as much as I did in finding them.
