OPM surveying in Richmond Park

[janey]

I've spent a few hours over the last couple of days surveying for OPM in Richmond Park.

 

NO NESTS in the areas I was looking at Yippee.

 

I couldn't help but get distracted by these lovelies though:

 

Those male demoiselles are proper little fighters!

MonkeyD has obviously not passed the message on to you then Janey.....all cameras to be left at the gate!.....its all mine mine mine.

 

Damsels are very nice though. The beech with the fomes shed its limb about 4 weeks ago. Mighty fine brackets though eh?

Quite possibly . I'm just helping out with the general surveying in London on a voluntary basis for the FC while I'm twiddling my thumbs, on the dole, awaiting that miracle job offer... If I get pointed in that direction, I shall duly go. 'Tis not a bad place to spend the day. LoL. Unless you get caught up in a swarm of cyclists, that is!

Hey, you have survey work. Fantastic . I've only seen Fomes in the wild a few times, and these brackets are corkers. If you get to RP, the tree is just to the south of the Roehampton Entrance carpark. It's fairly unmissable.
