Saturday 22 March

Some flowers we found on the Lower Burgh plus Frog Spawn and the Elfcup.

We also found three of the work piles of vegetation burned to varying degrees, this is getting to be a habit and I think it's time to stop leaving these piles to rot as small animals use them over winter - the yobs come along and set fire to them not caring what happens to the wildlife

Just one of the piles that we found burned out.

 Cowslip - Primula veris

 Frog Spawn

 Red Campion - Silene dioica

 Scarlet Elfcup

Teasel - Dipsacus fullonum
