Blean

Bright and sunny at Blean yesterday, which gave a great opportunity for enjoying early spring in woodland.   Lots of Blue Tit, Great Tit, Robin and Song Thrush singing, Blackbirds alerting and Woodpeckers drumming.
Gorse in bloom

Primrose
Catkins out, Gorse, Primroses and Alexanders in bloom and the delightful babble of the woodland streams made for a great day out.

Cleared of trees
The management of the site has continued through the winter and many areas have either been mown to ensure the ongoing habitat for fritillaries, and orchids and trees have been coppiced in strategic areas giving more open 'common' land.
Let's hope its isn't my only UK Nightjar this year!

A great place to spend a day wandering away from the noise of cars (almost) and few people beyond the 100 yards or so of the car park.
