Lovely woodland walk through the corridors of the wood.

Rosebay Willow herb flowers growing among the lush ferns.

Flowering Sweet Chestnut tree.

 The trees are in full leaf and coverings have made the birds

 hard to see. Its nice and sunny, the wind has dropped, so out come

 the Butterflies, Dragonflies and other flying insects.
