Bradfield Woods Spring Flowers

For the last day of my holidays, a final walk. Abandoned before we started on Saturday, I really wanted to see Bradfield Woods. As usual, they had a board saying what to look out for...

We were there a few weeks earlier than other years so got the blossom at its finest...

...and a wonderful show of carpets of wood anenomes...

...and bluebells.

We also found plenty of early purple orchids...

...and even some early peacock butterflies.

But what we were really there to catch was the pretty and rare (for the UK) Oxlips...

They are out in abundance now - go and see them before it's too late.
