A WALK IN SEPTEMBER Field Six
|
 |
This is the edge of the field near Field Five. |
 |
This area was cleared in 2001. Already the grasses are thriving and the marsh violets are showing thier leaves. |
 |
This area was cleared at the beginning of 2004. There have been many more flowers here as well as lots of Dragon and Damselflies. |
 |
The water is beginning to fill this area. Sometimes its up to welly-top height. The branches on the left of the pictures are called "sunshoots". The main branch has fallen down but the fresh growth heads for the sunlight. |
 |
 |
We believe this to be Dog Lichen (Peltigera canina). It can be found on the horizontal branch at the back of the previous picture. |
|
 |
The autumn fungi are beginning to appear through the leaves. Roll your mouse over this one to see it at a later stage. |
|
 |
|
 |
Haven't identified this fungus yet. |
|
 |
|
 |
The goosegrass is producing fresh growth. |
 |
The Yellow Pimpernel (Lysimachia Nemorum) is still in flower. Nearby we also spotted Herb Robert and Red Campion. |
|
 |
Sadly, this was one of several beech trees to be blown down sometime before we owned the land. It's become a good home for many mosses. |
 |
These are beech nuts or " masts" |
 |
Sometimes the stream is nearly dry at this time of the year |
|
 |
We hope you have enjoyed your visit. You can carry on through into the nearby Forestry land or walk back up our Ride here to get back to the gate. |
 |
Here's just a selection of the goodies we've harvested, Acorns, Beech masts, Hazel nuts and some Rowan berries. |
