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

Good morning for photos 

 Colt's-foot - Tussilago farfara

 Frog Spawn

 Gas Burner on the meadow - This use to be the old tip so it has to have regular checks and this methane burner - the burner enclosure does have this lean on it, check it against the sky line.

 Goat Willow - Salix caprea

 Just wish the sun had been out to show the Goat Willow with it's Golden Catkins

 Gorse - Ulex europaeus

 Hawthorn - Crataegus monogyna

 New Pond on the Lower Burgh
