Filmed at Soudley Ponds in the Forest of Dean, this short sequence shows the Forest in May time, when the bluebells are at their best.

Whilst filming the bluebells, in the woods near the ponds, two wild deer approached me. Normally when I go out to try to specifically film deer they hide but in this case, they came up close, unexpectedly and virtually posed for the camera. The film also shows wood anemone and some of the trickling streams which feed the ponds.

The film can be watched full screen by clicking the button at the right hand side of the progress bar. If your computer or internet connection is not the fastest, HD can also be switched off but the quality of video reproduction will not be quite as good.
