Only a few Bluebells <em>Hyacinthoides non-scripta<\/em> were open, but the Common Dog-violet <em>Viola riviniana<\/em>, the occasional Sweet Violet <em>Viola odorata<\/em> and Primroses <em>Primula vulgaris<\/em> added colour. Moschatel (Townhall Clock) <em>Adoxa moschatellina<\/em> was seen near the start of the walk together with Shining Crane\u2019s-bill <em>Geranium lucidum<\/em>. The locality provided varied conditions: in the woods were found Wood Speedwell <em>Veronica montana<\/em>, Ivy-leaved Speedwell <em>Veronica hederifolia<\/em>, Dog\u2019s Mercury <em>Mercuralis perennis<\/em> , Wood-sorrel <em>Oxalis acetosella<\/em>, Wood Avens <em>Geum urbanum<\/em> while the stream fringes harboured Hart\u2019s-tongue Fern <em>Asplenium scolopendrium<\/em> and Soft Shield-fern <em>Polystichum setiferum<\/em>, Narrow-leaved Buckler Fern <em>Dryopteris cristata<\/em>, Water Figwort <em>Scrophularia atropatana<\/em>, Wavy Bittercress <em>Cardamine flexuosa<\/em> and Wild Angelica <em>Angelica sylvestris<\/em>. The Beggar\u2019s Hill area offered more common species such as Bur Chervil <em>Anthriscus caucalis <\/em>and Cow Parsley <em>Anthriscus sylvestris<\/em>, Creeping-Jenny<em> Lysimachia nummularia<\/em>, Garlic Mustard <em>Alliaria petiolate<\/em>, Green Alkanet <em>Pentaglottis sempervirens<\/em> and Spear Thistle <em>Cirsium vulgare<\/em>. A dead Shrew <em>Sorex araneus <\/em>was examined with interest, unlike the dead Fox <em>Vulpes vulpes <\/em>(although a live one was also sighted). An active pair of Treecreepers <em>Certhia familiaris <\/em>enthralled the group and two Coot chicks <em>Fulica atra<\/em> on the lake next to Ashenbury Park offered a reminder of the arrival of spring.
