One simple way to gauge the biodiversity value of habitats is to find an expert, and this week we found one - Brian Laney. An accomplished natural history wildlife recorder across a range of Taxonomic groups, Brian accompanied tutor Julia and her Countryside Management students on a botanical ramble around the fields near Lodge Farm.
A surprising total of 53 common plant species were found all within a small area, and notable records for butterflies were also made. Check out the rather nice and sunny photo gallery below........
