Looks like a willow warbler to me Ste, but I'm no expert

I agree it is a Willow Warbler the chiffchaff is very similar but they have darker legs.  Nice find

ID question for Martyn 

 I think its a Willow Warbler but not sure ?

It was sulking about in the bush not calling or singing so I couldn't ID it that way . Sorry its not a clear picture mate couldn't get a clean shot through the branches then it disappeared.

Sorry Steve missed this, I would say Willow Warbler the pale cheek area below the eye would not be on a Chiffy

Found this beautiful lichen growing on a fencepost massive it was.  Was really surprised as usually see it growing down the woods on the trees it is Evernia Prunastri aka Oakmoss they used to use it to make perfume 20180409_164516.thumb.jpg.168060007a7ae97ccbbd0e4d3c8c344d.jpg

Cherry blossom in the Amsterdam woods...

 

Love the contrast between the blossom and the beautiful blue sky ( whatever that is ). 

Russell.  Just to remind you that its time for you to post the winners photographs from last month and I think March.

Cheers

Bluebell. ( singular ) so hard trying to isolate just one plant

Spanish bluebells, Hyacinthoides hispanica, sadly they reproduce far quicker than the native species.

I know Dave. That's about the only thing that I know about them. Unfortunately there are no English bluebells around Pennington flash.

That's a shame, the Spanish ones are bullies and will muscle in anywhere they can.

Mark. I'm trying to suss out where the picture was taken from. It's obviously the Bethan tower in the back ground and it looks like the radio masts between Ashton and Oldham on the right and the M60 in the front left foreground.

looks like Berberis darwinii to me Steve, not remotely related to gorse, a nice family of shrubs which bees, hoverfly and other insects enjoy.

Thanks Dave.  I knew that you would put me straight mate.

A simple Blue Tit amongst the Phragmites reeds, they often search for insects in the feather flower spikes of the reeds.

Martyn.  How do you know it's simple ? Isn't that blue tit-ism ?
