A Walk in the Wild Woods

 

Today we visited Wedgwood Potteries for a morning coffee.  There is access from the factory site to Hem Heath Woods and the bluebells are in season.

The woods are a wildlife site and they are managed as natural woodland covering several hectares.

The Bluebells are quite vivid at this time of year and photographs cannot convey the light and aroma of the woodlands at this time.

This is a Chiff-Chaff, which is a common and distinctive bird of this area of the UK.  Their name reflects their song and they are heard everywhere, but seldom seen or noticed.

Of course, no walk is complete without the posing Robin.

Todays bird count:

Wren, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Nuthatch, Robin, Chiffchaff, Great Tit,
Common Buzzard.
