Coton Hill Allotments
Beautiful restorative moment by the Shrewsbury Canal...just me, the dragonflies, reed warbler, fish and about a million tadpoles
It's only now I've actually seen the carnivorous sundews that I've realised just how tiny they are. Pretty difficult to spot in a place as large as Whixall Moss unless you have an ecologist like Phil to point them out.
Everyone left feeling elated after the #wemyouthclub second visit to the Moss with @sticksand.stuff @suechallis @mediaactiveprojects Anna and ecologist Phil and all the volunteers... We found huge raft spiders, diving bell spiders, sundews, all kinds of beetles and dragonfly larvae. Banner creation reached the sky sections. And the group tested out the soundtrail and had a go at some sound and video recording.
Happy World Peatlands Day from Whixall Moss! 🌍🦎🦋💚🌿
Some preliminary studies to get my eye in on a piece of work I've been asked to do for Mythstories and their exciting new project Wise Words in Wild Places, which combines walking in Shropshire, film and local folk tales.
Two fab evenings at #wemyouthclub with @sticksand.stuff @suechallis and Anna from @shropshire_wildlife_trust, and Max from @mediaactiveprojects.Lovely to see words spoken by everyone on the site visit emerging as prints by the children on the Boggy Banners. And the amazing bog body box ...
