Guys, I found this thread absolutely fascinating. Despite it being a little chit-chat amongst friends it has been an inspirational insight to the gems of our countryside. I have many where I live and explore many more at weekends. It is heartening to know that the kids are following in 'your' footsteps. I did chuckle to myself at the comment about the children shouting that they'd found some fungi. I have 5 year old twin girls that can sniff fungi a mile off and howl out the find when we are out in the woods - they are following in my footsteps too having an avid interest in arb and ecology. Beats the electronic gadgets anyday (although we don't own any stuff like that but I am using my imagination!). Fabulous photos - makes me want to go and buy a decent camera!

Glad you've found it so armybloke.

 

Not everyones cup of tea. Possibly the last thing some want to do after being in, on or around trees all week.

But instilling the woodland value on the children is inspiring enough

 

No decent camera really required, just a good digital, some patience & the right light.

 

 

Bung some up the next time you've been down to the woods

Burnham Beeches, bats and a couple of fungsters as well? That would be fantastic. Can I sign up now?

Not if I have to ride there pillion.! I've been warned about you !!.Yep lets get it together a weekend workout in Burnham beeches. I'll do the bats stuff,perhaps Hama and/ or David could do the Fung/Lichen/tree analysis bit? Would we all be talking at the same time though. I think we would have to have the old spoon in the hand rule !!!.

 

All joking apart lets see how many people are interested.
