| See this Red Admiral at the materials table? | 
  | 
| The Red Admiral just loved the Nature guides | 
  | 
| It kept returning and returning to these fold-out guides | 
  | 
| Wings  up | 
  | 
Wings down Presumably finding a warm place to warm up. | 
  | 
| Celandine leaves:  Tubers grow at the base or the leaf stem at this time of year. - Hence the alternative name "Pilewort" | 
  | 
Warted Golden Frill Lichen (Xanthoria calcicola)  on the wall at the entrance to the churchyard. ( have used this English name following a leaflet by Di Napier) | 
Eriophyes tiliae  Lime nail gall mite
A very pleasant afternoon enjoyed by all who came.  Thanks to the organisers from St Mary's Church.
Looking forward to hearing about the collated results.
