Bluebells eh? They're everywhere at this time of year... but even so it was a surprise for The Ranger when some popped up yesterday on Sandown Beach!

Bluebells on the beach

These are growing behind a row of beach huts, in the sand. You can see some sand at the far end of the huts, and the sea is just visible in the distance. I was working at the time doing something else so had to take a quick snap on the council phone - but if you don't believe me, go and look for yourself! I've always known that Sandown Beach is a great place, but never yet thought of promoting it as a place to look for bluebells.

See exactly where they were after the jump:

The Ranger's Blog

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
