A short walk yesterday morning in the local Hem Heath woods. Lots of work has been done by the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust over the winter months. Many Ash trees have been taken out because of Ash Dieback disease. New paths have been made, now much firmer and cleaner underfoot.
The sound of birdsong played in the air as we walked. The trees still bare of leaves looked wonderful against the blue sky.
We walked along the circular route back towards the car park.
Many areas under the trees were standing in water. I'm sure this will take some time to drain away.
We stopped by the pond.
Signs of life here. There will soon be Flag Iris and Marsh Marigolds to enjoy. Possibly little ducklings too.
We made our way back to the car park.
We'll return in a few weeks time to find the woodland floor a sea of blue, as this wood is noted for its glorious display of Bluebells.
All for now.
