Wood anemone (anemone nemorosa), also known as windflower, is now in full flower in a number of woods in the Parish. Duncombe Wood has a very good show. Particularly, it is to be found in ancient and deciduous woodlands. It has a sharp, musky smell.
I found this early purple orchid next to a path near the Sustainability Centre. Spring is finally arriving.
There is a very good show of bluebells in Hen Wood, next to Horsedown Farm at the moment.
First swallow of 2023 sighted in Coombe Road today 15 April. Last years first sighting was on 21 April.
