Key facts
Looking like a cross between a primrose and a cowslip, oxlips are a distinct woodland species
They are confined to ancient woods in the area where Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire meet
Very slow to colonise new areas and unfortunately making a tempting snack for browsing deer, they are a specially protected species
