Foulshaw Moss is looking green and an exceptionally wet winter and spring has made vegetation grow luxuriant. Ospreys are nesting and two eggs have hatched, a third is awaited. From the hide, we look out toward the osprey nest over bog myrtle to a mass of cotton grass. Foulshaw is a raised mire and I love its flora. Bog myrtle has early catkins, in April, and now they're shrivelled and brown before they become seed-heads. Downy birch has green catkins yet to open.
