Walk 5 - Calton
-
4.8 miles 1pm - 6pm. We drove far south this time - to Calton. We knew it was going to be super hot and sunny so we chose a walk through a wood (Musden Wood) for the first part. There were wild flowers and birds galore! We saw all the old favourite trees but there were mostly Ash and Hawthorn. We couldn't see very many birds but we could hear them all around so we did a lot of recording. We took our time through the wood and these were all the things we saw (more when we get to do the ID of stuff we didn't know later in the week): Sparrows, Jackdaw, Buzzard, Blackbird, Robin, Ducks, Magpie. Orange tip and common blue butterflies, crane flies. Rowan, Hawthorn, Ash, Blackthorn, Sycamore, Holly, Hazel, Elder, Goat Willow, Oak and Beech Trees. And the plants we could ID on sight were: Wild Garlic, Dock, Pink Campion, Dandelion, Cleavers, Rose, Thistle, Grass, Fern, Bluebells, Cow parsley, Honey Fungus, jelly ear Fungus, Brambles and Forget -me-nots.
