A First Safari for a couple of Weeks or so (whilst visiting the local Sainsbury's)

We decided to visit the local Sainsbury's to get some Shopping. En-Route we passed the massed ranks of Sweet Violets still flowering beside a Public Footpath (sadly, the Council Strimmers will doubtless be along sooner rather than later to raze them to the Ground: flowering 'Weeds' look so untidy!).

And the Sun shone!

It was good to be out again: lots to see, including:

California Poppy
Common Chickweed viz.


Common Field-Speedwell
Common Mallow
Common Whitlowgrass viz.


Dandelions viz.


Dove's-Foot Crane's-Bill
Four-Leaved Allseed viz.


Green Alkanet
Grape Hyacinths viz.


Groundsel
(assumed) Henbit Dead-Nettle
Ivy-Leaved Speedwell viz.


Jersey Cudweed
Lesser Celandine (assumed not planted and growing in two Front Gardens)
Lesser Swine-Cress viz.


Pellitory-of-the-Wall
Red Dead-Nettle
Rue-Leaved Saxifrage
Shining-Leaved Crane's-Bill
Sweet Violets (and visiting Hairy-Footed Flower Bees) viz.



We also spotted our first Hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) for almost a couple of weeks viz.
