Milder


Wrens are among the commonest birds on the moor enjoying the cover provided by the dwarf shrubs. They are now busy building and courting.
The mildness has also brought out flying insects in mini swarms around the trees anxious to make up for lost time and produce many more eggs and make life less tolerable in the summer bilberry picking season.
Now's a good time for the sun to penetrate to the floor of the woods before more shade grows at the highest levels.
