I am a long-standing supporter and member of the Woodland Trust.
The nearest site owned or managed by the Woodland Trust is Swan and Cygnet Woods in Stock in Essex which I visited for the second time this morning following my first visit in May 2023.
When I visited Swan and Cygnet Woods last year, the bluebells were past their “best before” date so I had planned an April visit this year. I was not disappointed and there was a beautiful show of bluebells throughout much of the wood.
The bluebells were the main focus of my visit but I also saw a fly-over calling Common Buzzard, a single calling and foraging Nuthatch and a few of the commoner resident woodland birds.
I heard at least another calling Nuthatch, at least 2 “drumming” Great Spotted Woodpeckers, several singing male Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs and a calling Stock Dove.
Here are some photos from my visit ….
