Paid another visit to the patch of Winter Aconite in Darnely Woods this morning. The flowers were still quite closed (the sun hadn't really penetrated that far into the wood) but the whole colony was significantly more advanced than last time with very few unfurling stalks. Altogether I counted 193 flowers (some photographs here). What I hadn't noticed before is that several of the plants around the edge of the patch are markedly smaller than those in the middle. I need to read up to try and find out why. Also in the wood were Jay, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker and singing Robin, Chaffinch, Wren, Dunnock, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Coal Tit and Mistle Thrush. Up at the dams end of the park, some highlights included two Dippers on the lade and at least nine Pied/White Wagtails and two Oystercatchers on the banks of Ryatt Linn Reservoir.
