Bluebells, Wood Anemones and Jet Walking

It was our day to walk Jet today so, as the weather was really good we decided to head out into the Wolds to walk from Beesby, visiting Bradley Woods first to photograph the wood anemones.  It was the perfect time for them and the woods were carpeted with their nodding, pink-tinged, white blossoms.  We began out walk in Beesby wood where we hoped for bluebells.  This is the best local wood I know for these flowers and they were just coming into their prime, along with carpets of wood anemones.  The badger set here is always interesting to check out.  There was plentiful evidence of activity in this large sett which was good to see.  We walked along the top of the wood and then dropped into the valley to follow the path through the Valley Wood.  Frome here the route took us along the road a short way to the outskirts of Wold Newton and then back over the wold past Stock Furlong wood and back to the car.  We had an excellent sighting of a green woodpecker flying up from the roadside along the Barton Street, which was pleasing.
