‘Candelabras’ of horse chestnut flowers, white ant (much rarer) red. The day I took these pictures, the trees with white flowers all seemed to be as bit more advanced.

One of the local buzzards using the thermal over the Barley Field, slowly circling to gain height.

A spear thistle. I took the picture from directly above to emphasise the symmetry of the plant.

Peacok butterfly resting on a leave, wings open to warm in the sun. It kept shuffling its position to get more comfortable.

Greater celanides forcing their way through where tarmac has been laid directly against a wall.

There haven’t been many fungi this spring, and by far the commonest mushrooms have been glistening inkcaps. This was the last cluster I saw, growing in the shelter of the hedge at the side of the Barley Field.
