Had a walk around the Red and Blue courses this morning. A few more plants to tick off for the year, although I'm learning that identification of a lot of species is far from straightforward. Bluebells are one flower that is fairly easy and a few are appearing on the left of the 13th on the Red.

Bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta [13th Red] |
This small shrub grows in some quantity on the the left of the 13th on the Red and I think that they are some sort of currant. I will go for Red Currant for the moment and will hopefully get further clues when they fruit.

Red Currant Ribes rubrum [13th Red] |
I think that this is a Dove's Foot Cranesbill on the left of the 15th on the Blue:

Doves-foot Cranesbill Geranium molle [15th Blue] |
I think that this is a Wood Forget-me-not on the left of the 13th Red.

Wood Forget-me-not Myosotis sylvatica [13th Red] |
I think that this is Slender Speedwell on the 3rd on the Red.

Field Mouse-ear Cerastium arvense [15th Red] |
Not too much around bird-wise. A few more Swallows, four Tufted Duck on the pond by the 4th tee on the Blue and lots of Linnets in the gorse on the 5th and 15th Red, where I think that they nest.
