March Woods

One of the best months. Trees are just holding back allowing sunlight to penetrate to the floor where bracken is bronzed and frosted. Native birds are excited, their songs having no competition before the arrivals of visiting songbirds in coming weeks.

On a much smaller scale lichen and moss gardens are flourishing around bark crevices.

A good time to meet deer too. Stags are close to antler drop and have their favourite spots to spend long lethargic hours. Roe deer in contrast are lively enough to venture out into clearings.
