Has it snowed? No, it's the Blackthorn blossom!


In my previous post about the cowslips, I was looking forward to the golden dust that lights up lower Roughdown Common at this time of year, but the dry weather has meant they aren't fully out yet on the field, though a few are visible.






The sloe bushes are a mass of frothy white.


Below them are areas sheltered from the wind and damper so this is where I find the cowslips  flourishing. 










I have often seen rabbits there, bouncing in and out of the hedgerow, and there is evidence of a predator with a sad pile of pigeon feathers by the hedge.
