Cowslips and dandelions

This is the season when dandelions have their first flush.  They are everywhere.  

Because they are so common it is easy to take them for granted but if they were rare we would rave about them.

Cowslips are rather less frequent so it is good to see they are still with us at Filnore on the slope up to the pylon, like this one seen yesterday. 

Hopefully our attempts at restoring all the grassland will result in the re-appearance of cowslips in the cowshed field, where they used to be plentiful.
