A bright but bitterly cold day with the northerly wind whipping around the edges of the wood. The wildflowers didn't seem to mind too much though and in the usual 2 spots I found a good number of Early Purple Orchids in full flower plus some nice patches of native Yellow Archangel (i.e. plants without the tell tale silver leaf markings of garden escapes) nearby. A single Sanicle plant was just starting to flower and of course the native Bluebells concentrated on the NE side of the wood were looking fabulous.
2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers were trading druming bursts and a Nuthatch was also 'pew pewing'.
For anyone visiting soon the NW section of the wood is a muddy quagmire making progress a bit of an obstacle course!
