I went for a walk in the Dams to Darnley Country Park today. Hazel is particularly common here with some trees still bearing female flowers. I managed to refind the patch of Winter Aconite deep in the woods. It was doing well but is possibly slightly smaller than it was in the past. Scarlet Elf Cup was particularly common and I came across one dead Elder colonised by Jelly Ear. A Grey Heron flying east over the main pond seemed to be carrying nest material. A Sparrowhawk was hunting near the Park housing estate. Finally, five Rooks were showing interest in three or four old nests in the trees next to Darnley Court Care Home.
