Autumn Focus

Autumn is here and things are stirring from the soil in Bonds Meadow…fungus, lots of different kinds pushing up through the fallen leaves. We need help identifying them, so if you’ve got a bit of spare time and some knowledge or maybe you’ve got the iNaturalist app on your phone, please have a walk in the 6.5 acres of nature in Oulton Broad and record what you see. Not just fungus, birds, plants, insects, etc. It would help us a lot.”
