Nice one!

And the Wood Anemones, Celandines and Primroses are out as well. Spring is here! Hopefully wild garlic pretty soon then...

I'm going out with my camera again tomorrow on a garlic hunt then! (And maybe a bag to collect some leaves for a salad!)

Orchid season starts next month too... Plenty of those in Monmouthshire (my folks live in the Forest Of Dean - just by the cycle path leading to PedalABikeAway!)

Noticed a bluebell in my garden last weekend, wonder how it got there.

Just the one.

Few bluebells out in Herts too. Its warming up and all the sticky, boggy bits are drying out nicely - I think I like this time of year as much as summer - nice comfortable temperatures for riding and no nettles out yet.

Oh yes there are nettles already! Maybe not very big ones, but I managed to get stung taking the Wood Anemone photo! Vicious little bugger, too: all fresh and full of venom (the nettle, not the Wood Anemone, obviously...)

Seem as though there are some keen naturalists on here! Nice!

Should we start a 'Show us your nature pics' thread? Perhaps make it 'British only' to celebrate our flora and fauna?
