March

The exposed chalky surfaces are very slippery when wet, but the gorse is flowering.

Snails and empty shells are easily spotted along paths and bare ground.

Violets, Viola species, just pushing their heads up.

Pill Woodlouse, Armadillidium vulgare, rolled into a ball as a defence.  Feeding on decaying matter, it is an important recycler of nutrients.  The 'plates' at the rear end of the pill woodlouse are much narrower than those on the rest of the body.
