Garlic galore and nesting Nutties in Millwood

The wild garlic is in full bloom in Millwood. After a long cold winter it is so lovely to see fresh spring growth on the trees and the hint of a carpet of Bluebells to come in the next few weeks. The colours at this time of year are intense, as if Mother Nature has turned the vibrancy button up a few notches.


 The woods were alive with birds busily collecting food for their young.

 A Song Thrush fledgling patiently waiting for its parents to bring food.


A pair of Nuthatches had set up home in one of the many nesting boxes in the wood and were working hard to bring insects to their nestlings.
 One out, one in!

We could have watched these gorgeous little birds all day!

Hopefully we will see their young when they fledge.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you've enjoyed the photos.
