I am not keen on going on my own to 2 of the places I need to visit so will go when I can persuade someone to go with me!!! Yarningale Common soon though is a must - I used to visit there as a child with my mum and dad and Edith visited at least once.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-15214224886442060712014-06-08T16:38:47.170+01:002014-06-08T16:38:47.170+01:00I hope you do find time to continue your Country D...I hope you do find time to continue your Country Diary theme, I enjoyed it very much.

But it does, as you say, give you a reason for getting out and researching more id and its good to know that, in a very small way, you are contributing to knowledge of species distribution etc.!!<br /><br />lol re: mud boots :) I wore wellies - I remembered from last year how muddy it was. But I forgot to warn my son who came along with me and was only wearing pumps!! He was not happy!! Luckily that particular pair of pumps had already got coated in mud a few weeks before at Ryton Woods!!<br /><br />Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-54427237669452765542014-05-27T23:34:47.179+01:002014-05-27T23:34:47.179+01:00First off, I would love to go on that walk with yo...First off, I would love to go on that walk with you. I wouldn't know any of the plants at all, but you seem to know the whole lot! Or at least a good number of them. I love these types of surveys. Not that they give me a reason to be outdoors, but to challenge the ID skills. It's active learning at its best. Beautiful area although I would have to wear the mud boots:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-18982299179959566472014-05-25T19:00:19.185+01:002014-05-25T19:00:19.185+01:00Amanda Peters Thanks - yes it is a good square - I...Amanda Peters Thanks - yes it is a good square - I'm lucky :) I agree I find it more confusing this year with all the extra species. Typed up a huge list with all the species on for the different habitats which helped a little. But there are a lot more species I am not familiar with and the grasses and sedges are a nightmare - haven't identified one yet!! Good luck with yours :)<br /><br />Countryside Tales - Thanks. Yes, I found the Fringe cup id difficult because they did look more like a wildflower. Had an email from someone who reminded me they had identified them for me last year - doh!

It took ages to ID them and we only did by luck when we came across pics on another blog.<br />Sounds like a very interesting project to be part of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-86864630623930064762014-05-25T17:29:14.815+01:002014-05-25T17:29:14.815+01:00Looks like a nice place to record, just got my pac...Looks like a nice place to record, just got my pack last week.
