Red Dead Nettle adding early colour at Robin Hood Hills. One of the earlier wildflowers to appear, its small magenta blooms provide welcome nectar for insects on mild days - a subtle but reassuring sign that spring is beginning to stir.

🌼 A quiet woodland milestone 🌼
Wood Anemones are starting to appear in Portland Park, taking advantage of early spring light before the canopy closes. Always feels like a turning point in the season when these show up.

A Common Frog surfacing among pondweed is a familiar sign that spring is on its way. These amphibians help keep insect numbers in check and often return to the same ponds each year to breed. A quiet but important moment in early spring...
