\"Wood<\/em><\/p>\n

Wood Anemone \u2013 Marbury Country Park<\/p>\n

After the dark days of Winter the banks of Wood Anemones to the west of Budworth Mere are always a great sight. In common with a lot of our plants Anem\u014dn\u0113 \u2013 is derived from Greek. Literally means “daughter of the wind”, from \u00e1nemos<\/i> “wind” and the feminine suffix \u2013\u014dn\u0113.<\/i><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Coltsfoot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Coltsfoot flower \u2013 Marbury Country Park<\/p>\n

Locally the first Coltsfoot flowers began to open up during late February however trying to find a day when its not been raining or overcast has been a bit of a problem. In common with many other spring flowers they\u2019re photo sensitive. The first sign of cloud and that’s it the flowers close up.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Gean\"
\nWild Cherry\/Gean \u2013 Chorlton Water Park<\/p>\n

A favourite of the local Bullfinches. Also a valuable source of pollen for the local insects that help to attract the Chiff Chaffs, Blackcaps, Pipistrelles and larger Noctule Bats out hunting in the evening.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"Coltsfoot\"<\/td>\n\"Bluebell\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Next up at Marbury will be a spectacular display of English Bluebells. Whilst the first are just beginning to open it\u2019ll be the end of April before the woodland floor is really carpeted with Bluebells. Hopefully we\u2019ll have the chance to call in however this year we may be heading up to north Lancashire to look for Green Hairstreak butterflies and Green winged Orchids.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
