Visit to Broaks Wood

Just before the weather turned and as I had a few days off, I continued my spring photo sessions at Broaks wood.

Not being the weekend, the place was deserted but I was unlikely to see any mammals because guess who came along too.

I knew there were grass snakes in the area, but unfortunately I didn’t see any so I had to be content with the wildflowers.

Cuckoo flower was everywhere…

…and an occasional stitchwort.

And that icon of the English woodland, the bluebell.

Not quite fully developed, but good enough to cause a blue mist along the woodland floor.

Of course, birds are busy nesting as well.

Woodlife Trails are running a course this weekend, so I’m busy preparing for that. Hopefully I’ll have a write up of that later in the week.

Until then, thanks for the visit.
