One thing that we spot quite frequently throughout winter is a hibernating queen wasp. During winter queen wasps will find a safe space to sleep. This might be in sheds, in between pots or like this little one, in a cozy leaf. They usually don’t wake up unless you really disturb them, so if we see them we will simply place them somewhere safe!

The white flowers of the Wood Anemone which you will see at the beginning of spring and are a sign of ancient woodland.

Hearing the sound of the water flowing and birds singing.
