This ramson or wild garlic was almost beginning to flower. Once the flowers do come out, the smell is an indication of the relationship to the cultivated culinary plant.

Sloe blossom
Flowers on a sloe bush a few days ago.
On the next bush the buds had not yet opened.
Early ducklings on the upper pool at Badger.
The grouping below is one section of a flotilla which included two broods which were being herded by both sets of parents.
Here is another of them.
I haven’t managed to identify which species yet.
Last weekend the bluebells finally came out in a carpet of flowers.
The view below is of a small wood just outside Rindleford, near Bridgnorth.
And here a view of a smaller patch of the same slope.
Finally from a little wood just a few hundred yards from Boscobel House. Although this picture was taken a couple of days after the others, the flowers are not quite so far out.
