+====== 04 Mar 2024: Spring colours ======
+Although we did not have a full working session on 4th March,
+a couple of us had a look around the site before the rain began.
+The snowdrops are going to seed but the wild daffodils are making a splendid display,
+although some unknown culprit has been chewing many of the trumpets.
+Lungwort (//Pulmonaria//) is in flower, ready to supply nectar
+to feed the queen bumblebees when they emerge from their winter quarters.
+Many other species of plants are showing signs of growth,
+promising more colour later in Spring.
+Some unexpected splashes of colour right now were provided by several clumps of
+the Scarlet Elf-cup fungus (//Sarcoscypha coccinea//) on dead branches lying on the ground among the ivy.
