Hamadryads foray-Whippendell woods 17-9-11

[janey]

Nice Phaeolus there . I haven't seen any growing above ground level myself.

 

It looks like you had another great day scaring small children up in Whip' Woods. How did the amount and variety of fb's compare to last year's display?

[RobRainford]

And again!

[RobRainford]

Some very fine shots there Rob, what camera are you using ?

 

 

 

 

.

 

Thank you

 

Canon 450d with 18-25mm lens, i think that's the right lens. I'll check.

 

 

Rob: I fell asleep very shortly after!

i was half right, it was an 18-55mm lens!

 

it was my mums camera, would love one myself, eyeing up a 1100d, entry level SLR with the same lens, should give me some good pics!

Whippendell Woods are a magical spot, and I am lucky enough to walk in the woods daily. I think it's great that your Senior Member 'Hamadryad' organised a foray there last weekend. I've looked at a couple of his postings and videos and it's obvious that he has a very deep knowledge of arborial matters and cares deeply about the ecology. I am glad that he introduced members of this forum to this lovely place.

and welcome to the forum whippendell watcher, everyday huh, lucky you:thumbup1:

 

Do you know who extracted the beech trunk that was at the boundary of lees wood by any chance?

[WhippendellWatcher]

Thanks for your welcome.

No, I don't know who extracted the beech trunk that you refer to, but there's a team from Nicholsons in the woods at the moment. So I guess it may have been them, if it was done recently. They've got some serious kit in there.

BTW did you watch 'The Fades' last night?

BBC iPlayer - The Fades: Episode 1

The scene in the woods at around the 50 minute mark was filmed in the sinkhole near Lees Wood.
