To me, spring is the best time for walking in the woods. At the moment the wood anemones look amazing. They’re not everywhere and tend to be in patches, but at the Denstroude end of the Reserve there are huge swathes of wood anemones and celandines out together, which are well worth a visit to see. The bluebells will be next.

If anyone read this blog and would like to comment on where the best displays of flowers are, or which migratory birds that they’ve seen, or anything else of interest for that matter, as spring progresses or would like to add pictures to the gallery, please don’t hesitate! It will show both local visitors and those from other parts of the country what the Reserve has to offer.

Photos below show the celandines, wood anemones and primroses:
