Early primroses in the Pyrenees

Few signs of spring as I took a walk out from Biescas yesterday. First few primroses are coming out in sunny spots alongside the path and few hepatica have started to join them. The stinking hellebore have been out a few weeks – the flowers of these remain green as there’s nothing else in flower at this time of year to compete for insects attentions.

Hepatica nobilis

Took a path I don’t take often and came across another fortification. This one was high up in the hills and quite large looking more like an artillery point. There must be dozens of these in the surrounding hillsides!
