This was our first visit to The Wood for a number of months, so it was good to see that spring 2014 has well and truly sprung. As well as removing a patch of invasive snowberry plants, laurel and young sycamores, we planted a few more hawthorn plants in the new hedge. It was also an occasion to observe some of the species that call this small park home. Nearby a woodpecker could be heard tap-tapping on a tree, while beneath our feet the aroma of ramsons (Allium ursinum) was permeating the air. Another interesting find was a patch of Aquilegia (Columbine) with its blue nodding flowers.
No springtime report would be complete without cherry blossom.

Finally, the new gate is being installed.
A curious group of cobweb spiders was spotted.
