Popular Post Suzannek Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Posted May 1, 2018 The spring wildflowers have arrived down my favourite woods where I live. Mosschatel/Town Hall Clocks; Wood Anemones; Primroses, Dog Violets; Wood Sorrel 8
Popular Post Suzannek Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Posted May 1, 2018 You would think these were the same wildflower if you did not know. The first is Barren Strawberry and the second Wild Strawberry. They are two different wildflowers both in bloom down my favourite woods 7

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. Steve Sorry Steve missed this, I would say Willow Warbler the pale cheek area below the eye would not be on a Chiffy 3

Three from a very warm spring like day on Snowdon on Tuesday 13 March. Clear views from the summit, a Chinook flyby and a very still calm reflection of the horseshoe from Plas y Benin that had the photographers out in force. Great day On 29/03/2018 at 21:49, Rick Cooper said: Not exactly great photos, just a few deer in the distance, but they are a herd that are roaming free locally. I first saw three or four a few years back but they ran off as soon as they saw anyone. After the snow last week they appeared in this farm field, seemed to like it and stuck around for about five days. They've gone now but as far as I know are still in the area. Re wilding starts here..... Congratulations @Soulfinger @soulandy & @Rick Cooper!!! Edited May 3, 2018 by Russell Gilbert Spelin 4
