The woodland turns white and blue...

The woods are now at an especially beautiful stage, where for a week or two there are both Wood Anemone and Bluebells out:

The whole woodland floor has really greened up:

The trees are catching up now as well. Birch are always pretty early coming into leaf:

As is Hawthorn:

But the Oak is now catching up too:

And even the Sweet Chestnut has some leaves appearing:

It won't be long before you can't see very far through the woods, as the leaves fill in the gaps and create shade.

Meanwhile, our tame pheasants are still busy gobbling up any spilled seed from the bird feeder. Here's the male one keeping a watchful eye over his two females!
