Two days of almost summery temperatures are making themselves felt in the forest, making for wonderful walking weather. The wild daffodils are now in full bloom and are the most striking spring bloomer at the moment. Small wood anemones are peeking out from beneath the beech leaves. In sunny spots, wood anemones are already in bloom. Lesser celandine is blooming along the light-filled edges of the paths. Bluebell leaves, with their pointed tips, continue to pierce through the dry beech leaves everywhere. The brown, dead carpet of winter leaves is turning green. Here and there, the first flower stems with their purple-blue flowers are already emerging. At the forest edges, the snow-white flowers of the blackthorn are striking. Those who come for an early morning walk can enjoy the birdsong and the drumming of the woodpeckers. The chaffinch, great tit, blue tit, chiffchaff, and nuthatch are striking songsters. If you listen carefully near conifers you will hear the fine, high-pitched song of the goldcrest and firecrest.
