Spring Woods

The moth trap held 9 moths this morning, Hebrew Character, Common Quaker, Early Grey, Clouded Drab and a Brindled Pug.
It was a lovely walk this morning in Park Wood, hardly needing a coat and definately less layers. We heard at least 5, and saw a probable, nightingale. There were also a couple of chiffs calling and a great Spot gave a short chip. Also heard my first blackcaps singing. The nightingales were mostly in the centre bit with very little in the other parts of the wood although I did find a long-tailed tit by the carpark.
The entrance was dotted with primroses and the woodland floor was carpeted with wood anemones. There are also thousands of bluebells with one very early bluebell flower at the back of the wood.
