Finally a flower other than gorse! These snowdrops are in their second year of flowering at Easter Breich Wood. Need a very keen eye to spot them!

Our local #communitywoodland is carpeted with #snowdrops at this time of year — a gentle reminder that even as winter lingers, new beginnings are already on their way. Always grateful to the #volunteers who manage the woodland for the #community

Pathway through woodland, evening sunlight dappling through the trees View across to the hills. Sheep and lambs in foreground Row of trees at edge of field. Glimpses of the Town (Moffat) to the right, farm building to the left. Hills in the distance, the Southern Upland Way goes up and along those hills.

Our local community #woodland is still surprisingly green still. Caught this #greysquirrel with what appears to be an acorn capsule in its mouth. I’ve been seeing a lot of grey squirrels around various #EastLothian woodlands recently - usually scurrying away!

Having a dawdle through our #communitywoodland & briefly had the company of resident #roedeer. They were browsing at the edge of a wetland area within the wood; building up their winter fat reserves. I retreated to avoid disturbing them.

On a dreich day the saprophytic jelly ear #fungus, with its distinctive gelatinous form stood out in our #communitywoodland. Found mainly on dead or dying wood, quietly breaking it down and recycling nutrients back into the woodland #ecosystem improving its health.

Local greenspaces are so important to value - community woodland #Dunbar #EastLothian. Always lovely to see the #snowdrops popped through and a fleeting glimpse of a #sparrowhawk before it was flushed by a walker on the other side of the wall.

With its leaves which are reminiscent of clover this small #Wood #Sorrel #flower is absolutely stunning.

It’s definitely one of the times of year when our native woodlands are bursting with mushrooms & toadstools. Just a few from our Dunbar #communitywoodland today - (puff ball, parasol mushroom, coral spot & shaggy ink cap) - vital part of a healthy ecosystem

Broom

I particularly like the Broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the spring as it looks really vibrant.

This full photograph is taken up with the bright vibrant yellow of the Broom flowers. This is set against the non-spiky leaves of the bush.

I couldn’t believe it! I was photographing this #vetch and along came a #bee and photobombed the image. How lucky am I!

A stack of green leaves comes from the right hand side of the photo. The stack ends in purple vetch flowers. There is an orange and black bee feeding from the flower.

Amazing how much of a tree we don't see. #Soil #erosion under a #beech #tree.

This is a photo of a beech tree growing out of the ground. However, we see that there has been soil erosion underneath the tree and the roots that are growing down into the ground have been exposed for a section.

I think this is a beautiful pink flower. I hadn't come across #Pink #Purslane before as its not native to this area.

In a shaded part of the woodland is this little plant. The leaves have been photographed out of focus but you can still see their overall shape. The focus is on 3 bright pink flowers that have darker veins of colour running the full length of each petal. They are pink purslane.

Downy Birch

This is a #downy #birch which is covered in #lichen. On the left hand side is a large #bracket #fungus which I think is a birch# polypore.

Waves of #snowdrops along the floor of Lochend Woods - #Dunbar #communitywoodland. A pleasant local place for a stroll.
