      The English bluebells in my local woods have been sensational this year. Redwing, reassuring to know they have a genetic advantage over Spanish intruders :)

        They are spectacular here too. A walk in the woods is magical now.

          The Wild Boar are making a real mess of the Bluebells in the Forest of Dean, vast areas of uprooted plants/bulbs lying/dieing on the surface of churned up wooldland floor when I was there a short while ago.
