The pond / wetland habitat in our wildwood grows a remarkable patch of "marsh marigolds" [ Caltha palustris ] most years, in 2023 the flowers were extensive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltha_palustris

Overgrown wetland / pond area - the latter is somewhat silted up ... also suffering from a relative lack of recent / winter rain. I suspect that this coming Autumn we shall have to clean this out again, and re-establish both the pond & the wetland area, as part of the "wildwood" maintenance programme. I don't want to do it in winter, as it will be far too cold for 'plodging' in the mud ! There is also the risk of disturbing hibernating toads etc.
