TWYFORD WOODS - BLUEBELLS : Twyford Woods is just South of Grantham, Lincolnshire in the UK. It is one of several renowned bluebell woods in the area. These photos were taken on the afternoon of Sunday 27th April '08. The display was pretty good, but I expect it to be even better in a week or two, so please come back if you want to see more. And yes, there are some shots of primroses too, it isn't just bluebells :)

GREETWELL HOLLOW NATURE RESERVE : Greetwell Hollow is a wonderful semi-wild area on the NE outskirts of Lincoln, UK. It was formerly ironstone workings, and is now a SSSI (site of special scientific interest) as well as a Nature Reserve. Although it is quite small, you can find limestone grassland, shrubland, streams, marshes and small forested areas here. All of these photos were taken within the space of 40 minutes, one beautiful Sunday morning in early June. I originally went in search of rare marsh orchids, but I couldn't find any. I will return for the orchids, I only live 5 minutes walk away, but in the meantime I hope these photos do some justice to Greetwell Hollow. Use the slideshow feature to see these images at their best.

GREETWELL QUARRY, LINCOLN, UK : This is the sister gallery to Greetwell Hollow, as the two areas are adjacent. A few years ago this was a working limestone quarry, but the wildflowers are quickly taking over. I will add to this album throughout the year as the colours change. But my main reason for this gallery is to record the beauty of the area before it disappears, as there are plans to build 1500 homes on it!

WHISBY NATURE PARK : Whisby Nature Park is an old sand and gravel quarry to the south-west of Lincoln, UK. Photos from here have featured in many of my other galleries, but I thought it was about time it had one itself. There is a state of the art visitors centre, with a cafe, shop and ever changing exhibitions with an environmental theme. But this gallery will concentrate on the flora and fauna of this beautiful place, and I will add photos on a regular basis. I am not a wildflower expert, so if anyone can identify those that I haven't captioned I will be very grateful :)
