Community project aiming to restore our Norfolk village pond, to eradicate the invasive species within the water and to improve the biodiversity in the surrounding environment, for the benefit of all. https://www.morstonpondswamp.org/
At yesterday's SWAMP session the team planted a Spindle tree - an excellent source of food for birds in Winter, moths & pollinators when the leaves are out! @carlsayer.bsky.social @ajaytegala.bsky.social @uclgeography.bsky.social @bramblebotanist.bsky.social @patrickbarkham.bsky.social

Dark, brooding skies over #Morston #pond which shows the decreasing #summer water level. However, this gives us an easier opportunity to clear #Crassula while still protecting our #toadlets and #froglets in the deeper waters #nature #biodiversity #wildlife #conservation #water #community

Hi again James, we're hoping you could identify our mysterious fungus for us from the underside and stem? Sadly, this is all that was left after after municipal mow yesterday!
