This Thursday I tagged along with the Tree Walk at Denso Marston Nature Reserve<\/a>. Steve, the warden, is posting something about 1 tree per day this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first tree we had a look at was a large Black Poplar down river past the Buck Lane footbridge, I have used that as the header image. At about the same time a Buzzard flew over being herded out by a couple of Jackdaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is evidence that the air around the reserve is clean – as demonstrated by the numbers of lichen and mosses around. The Capillary Thread Moss (Bryum capillare) looks good when viewed up close through a macro lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am hoping that someone can give me more information about the type of Violets and the beetles we spotted on one of the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the small oak trees had a Rams Horn Gall on it, I have included a photo of it and a photo of what the buds would look like if not affected by the Andricus aries wasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently the plant that I said was Cowslip in my Birdsong Walk post is actually False Oxslip. Some of the people that go on these walks are very knowledgeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk was not for tree identification but just a general chat about trees, woodland management, hedge laying, pollarding, coppicing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
