Now that the weather appears to have calmed down somewhat, I felt it was time to visit a local nature reserve and see if there were any further signs of spring. Crocus and snowdrops have been around for a while now; daffodils are starting to bloom, while insect activity has never really stopped this winter, such has been the mildness of the season, but I wanted to see what else was beginning to emerge.
Unfortunately, flooding is still causing problems, and most of the paths running alongside the Dorset Stour (above), were submerged, making access to parts of the reserve difficult, if not impossible. However, in the small sections I was able to gain access to, I noted that hawthorne was beginning to flower, and catkins were hanging from tree branches. The showery weather was responsible for the wonderful sky in the photograph.
Nearly there.
