Happy Valley

An evening walk in Happy Valley with MrM and Louie - the light was just beginning to fade, and the songbirds were singing their hearts out. MrM was hoping to see a red squirrel - no luck this time, but at least he didn't spot any greys. 

It's absolutely beautiful there at this time of year. Mixed woodland, lots of scented gorse in full bloom and wild flowers in profusion - pink campion, primroses, wild violets, greater stitchwort, herb robert, creeping comfrey and carpets of bluebells (extra). And yellow poppies on the river bank.
