Trapping session at the Lynch, just three Ppy caught.

It is always the yellow bastards that get me.

Stockbridge Common Marsh. Common mouse ear, long stalked yellow sedge (p) and glaucous sedge (p) along with marsh valerian, molinia, water avens and singing reed, sedge, chettys, garden warblers along with chiff chaff and cuckoo. Along with small heath, holly blue, peacock and white butterflies.

The star of the show today for me ubiquitous hawthorn and dandelion.

In the woods

Interesting pellets found alongside a path through heathland some fur and lots of dor beetles. I am thinking maybe little owl but maybe one of the corvids, not really associated with an obvious perch.

Sculpture trail

Bit of a detour to explore King Arthur's Cave, where among other things bones of hyena, lion, and wooly rhino were found!

After my recent stained glass fun spent some time looking at and trying to capture the sunlight coming through the new beech leaves, didn't manage to quite capture it on my phone, but then came across this sign encouraging mindfulness in the woods which is a fab way of thinking about it.

Herb Paris and some fantastic views!

Morning in the woods checking some boxes as part of NDMP and actually had some dormice this time. Lots of tit nests and some wood mice too. Along with Solomon's seal and town hall clock.
