The meadow is at last coming into bloom. It's been slow this year with the cool weather and the flowers having kept their buds closed. Here's what I found today - plus a surprising number of bugs, bees and butterflies (most take off too quickly for a photo)....
Bugle, buttercup, trefoils, ribwort, yarrow, self-heal, wild caraway, cow parsley, sorrel, knapweed, red and white clover....
......and lots and lots of grasses.
A few butterflies turn up when the sun comes out.....
Meadow brown
Small tortoiseshell
I'm learning!!
