Bluebells and Yellow Fields

Waresley wood was very busy this morning for our CCC Wednesday Workshop outing and, once we got parked and in the woods, we could see why:- the Bluebells are extra good this year. Fewer Oxlips, wood anemones or orchids but the smell and sight of the Bluebells made up for this. The blue of the flowers is so dependent on the light conditions - cyan out of the sun and almost purple in the sun. Not so keen on the smell of the Rape which is turning lots of fields yellow.

The primroses, however, are extra good. Here are the flowers that are in bloom

Insects Waking Up

 The warmer weather has brought out quite a few insects in our part of Cambridgeshire including a good number of Honey Bees but also the Buff-tailed and Tree Bumblebees, small Flower beetles, Ant, Ladybird and Sarcophaga fly.
