Merry men

Had a fun day out at Sherwood Forest yesterday. visiting the National Nature Reserve, and getting to hear all about the plans for the future of this rather fascinating and special place.

We visited the Major Oak and saw a good number of other ancient oaks. Apparently the highest density in western Europe.


There was so much dead wood about that I'm guessing invertebrate sampling must throw up some pretty cool stuff. Will have to make a return visit at some point and take a better look.

There were still a few fungi on show including a few Scleroderma citrinum, Common Earthball. A fungus that even I can identify (I hope).
