Bluebells in once-coppiced woodland
In a beautiful demonstration of succession, this is the same patch of woodland as the wild daffodil photos I took at the end of March.
They are a little more spaced out than elsewhere in the wood, and therefore slightly less of a blue haze (even allowing for the less than ideal light conditions) – I presume this is because they are sharing the rootspace with other bulbs.

It may also be because they prefer different conditions – these two photos are from another area with silver birch and hazel rather than beech and sycamore. (Click for larger images.)
