Out through Skipworth meadow, the hedge row is full of Honey Suckle is full bloom. The cream yellow trumpet like flowers emanating a sickly-sweet smell. The Honey Suckle is using Blackthorn as a climbing frame, the bush covered in slowly swelling slows.
The entrance into the large copse is guarded by Garlic and Mustard Herb. In the woodland Stinking Iris is in full bloom the speckled dirty, purple-coloured flowers standing tall. Ground Ivy with its purple / green leaves and small purple flowers is interspersed with Nettles along the edges of the woodland.
The blustery breeze shifts the tall grass in taskers meadows backwards and forwards violently. The grass acting as a shelter for Common Spotted Orchid, the pale pink flower only standing a few inches tall. Hawks Beard is starting to unfurl its yellow petals with the promise of sunshine poking through the cloud cover above, while Oxeye Daises whip back and forth in the wind. Towards the Saxon side of taskers meadow Adders Tongue Fern can be found, though the leaves are staring to yellow and go over now.
In Saxon Wild Carrot is in full bloom in the verges with the distant sound of a Chiffchaff calling. A large clump of Tufted Vetch guards the gate onto the drove on the westerly side of the field. The tall spindly flowering stems covered in purple drooping trumpet like flowers.
Through the Herron ground drove, the song a Skylark in a nearby meadow can be heard over the drone of the wind. Pyramidal Orchids fill the verge where we cut back Old Mans Beard this winter. Through the viny regrowth of the Old Mans Beard the orchids poke their bright pink flowers out. Hedge Woundwort stands tall along the verge as well the deep pink flowers adorning the tall flowering stem.
Into Centenary where swaths of Common Sainfoin can be seen poking out the long grass. Oxeye Daises move like a rippling tide across the top of the meadow as the wind buffets them.
