Winter flowers!

Saturday, December 10th 2011

Ann and Elizabeth carried out their monthly flower walk and recorded five species.  Their walk took them along Risedale Beck where the winter sun was shining through the trees.

A debate took place as to whether this frosted Honeysuckle flower actually counted as being in flower. 

Gorse was another flower recorded and it was interesting to see that the 7 Spot Ladybirds were still in residence, even though there were frozen water droplets around them!

By the afternoon the wind had dropped and the temperature was falling, allowing some of the puddles to be covered in a thin film of ice. A touch of pink in the sky could be seen through the Ash trees.
