Failed to keep up the momentum from T.P.W. and C. 19, so here are a couple of pictures, somewhat late.
At the south-east corner of the curtain wall at Fort Paull some old hawthorn shrubs but in full flower this spring, a mass of white blossom and hopefully a mass of berries in autumn.
Separated from Fort Paull by an arable field is the Thorngumbald Marsh area of managed retreat – the reedbeds in the middle distance having once been arable land.
In the foreground the first cowslips of spring, as here, often associated with edge of wetland locations.
