Oh dear, about two months since my last post!

(I have just noticed a draft today, 23 August 2017, and thought I would write a bit more, add a couple of photos and post it all the same.)


Well, here goes!

That was back in May, I see. The beavers in the burn/ditch west of the drive have been doing great things. I notice tree stumps I had thought were dead sprouting coppice shoots.

A hazel stump sends out coppice shoots.

An ash does the same. I fear for the ash here because I see many signs of the ash die back.

Water spearwort is a spreading feature of the burn side.
