May Findings

The first buttercup has flowered. This is Creeping Buttercup (Ranunculus repens). Leaves pictured below.

Silvery scales of Lemon-scented Fern
(Oreopteris limbosperma)

An unfurling crozier of Lemon-scented Fern

Slender Rush (Juncus tenuis),
one small step outside the back door,
looking colourful in afternoon light

Fern and bluebell

and today's favourite daisy

I found what I think might be a Wood Pigeon's eggshell at the top of the garden.
And several bunches of small feathers. Whether the two are connected, I don't know.

The Grey Sallow I pruned vigorously in the autumn is fighting back. It might not be as easy as I thought to use this horizontal branch as a garden seat.
