The Bluebells seem to have flowered early this year

We had our first sightings of Bluebells near Sizergh on Saturday, and then again this week on another bank this time near Brock Bottom Mill in the Forest of Bowland. The Primroses, Wood Anemone and Wood Sorrell all seem bright and beautiful this year and we also spotted Butterbur. Did you know that there is a website devoted to the Butterbur plant and it's use as a herbal remedy? http://www.butterbur.co.uk/

Casualty of the April storms?

This beautifully constructed blackbirds' nest with it's three colourful eggs seems to have been blown out of the laurel hedge. It's a real shame - we hope the birds will rebuild and try again.
