We went to Hauxley just for fun. Ray shared what he had learned from geology classes with NHSN, Elizabeth educated us on the birds while Alex made the star find of the day, a Prunus species embedded in the peat layer, with enormous lenticels – see below. Janet Simkin was extremely excited to find a lichen, Thelotrema on it.  These are Janet’s photos

Very early results – but so far, looking good
