Yes
I've not found any yet in the new forest - anyone else got them?
 
Looked this week in my 3 usual spots in Hampshire & was only just seeing the leaves. No buds to be seen anywhere
 
They are just coming out in the Valleys round Elland. The woodland floor is turning a glorious blue. I think they need a couple of days yet to open fully.
 
Hundreds of them in Bushy Park last weekend.
 
Starting to come through very nicely in Micheldever today but about 1/2 still in bud though so looks like another week and they'll be superb

Wow! they are beautiful :)

looks like I'm going to have to zip up the road!
 
out and about on Eaton Golf Club, Norwich today.......... so could be a weekend trip to Foxley Wood this weekend or next....
 
There were a fair few out in Brede High Woods and Guestling Wood last weekend. Looking to be a real picture for the next couple of weeks.
 
They are out in my garden, damn things! Sticking through the lawn and out of the gravel.
 
Lots out and about in North Wiltshire. My local glen is full, gonna pop out this weekend depending on the weather, plus the forest I walk the dog in every day has snowdrops and bluebells.
 
I'm working in our ancient woodland on the reserve and the Bluebells came out a few days ago...stunning.
 
I went over to Elland last weekend and i felt that either this or maybe next week/end will be the best time.
Another great bluebell show with excellent landscape and compositional oppotunities is up the road from Barnard Castle
 
The ones in my garden are nearly there, usually earlier than this.

Does anyone live in Cheshire and know of any bluebell woodlands? The one I used to go as a child has been built on now.:shake:

I'd like to know this as well, as wippers said almost all woods near me have gone to the developers.
 
I was at Kings Wood near Canterbury on Wednesday. Went over there to photograph the bluebells and wasn't disappointed.
 
Got some in my garden (North Yorkshire). The woods near me is filled with them, hoping to get some pictures this weekend (time and weather depending)

Took this one yesterday near me in Leicester.Not quite at their best yet.As someone said they are a bit late this year.
 
I think my previous post will get me in trouble.Image a bit too large.Sorry.
 
Spotted a few when out and anout today, nowhere near as many as usual at this time of year though, the foliage is there just not too many flowers, I put this image up fro C & C in another thread...

Not out in Bedfordshire yet, but just checked on the image below and this was taken on the 6th May last year so a few days yet me thinks.

Lovely photo.

We've got a few popping up around here but nothing too special yet
 
They are coming out quite quickly in the Midlands.The sunny weather last week seemed to really speed them up. This is Swithland woods in Leicestershire last Wednesday.

There are loads up in Penglais woods... Here's one from this afternoon (with a little visitor). ;)

Didn't manage to get a snap today, but I saw loads in the woods at brands hatch of all places!
 
I also think the bluebells are a bit late this year, but haven't actually been up to my local aboretum, Winkworth, to see for sure. I'm hoping to head up there at somepoint tomorrow.

Last year they were out in full glory at the very end of April - luckily coupled with quite a few misty mornings.
