What a beautiful late summers day we had here in Suffolk today, this weather was ideal for doing fungi photography so Matt and I went of and visited Bradfield Woods once more, this time we were joined by Heidi another Suffolk Wildlife Trust volunteer photographer. This was Heidi's first outing with us two and she soon found out about our sense of humour and the ice was broken...
On entering the woods we were met by the volunteer warden and after introducing Matt & Heidi to him he told us where there were some good species to photograph...we hadn't got far into the woods and we came across a lovely area of wildflowers, this was really unexpected so this was an added bonus...
Whilst crawling on our hands and knees in the woods photographing the various fungi it was great to hear the bird song and to see several butterflies nectering on various plants...yet again Matt was to be seen munching his way through the abundant blackberries on the bushes....of course there was the occasional spit as some were not that sweet....
We all were engrossed with our surroundings in this ancient wood we had forgot to keep an eye on the time, low and behold it was vastly approaching lunch time so we made our way back to the car park...
Whilst making this journey back we came across a mother & father with two young boys who were enjoying the woods and were learning so much from their parents and this is when it really hit home how the Suffolk Wildlife Trust are doing a great job in saving these important woodland for the future generation and I urge you all to help the Trust to purchase the last remaining private part of the woods, this can be done by going to the Suffolk Wildlife Trusts website link for Bradfield Woods and donate to the Bradfield Woods Appeal.....
Once more Matt & I had a great day & I'm sure Heidi enjoyed her first trip out with us too....
