If December was a merry berry month for humans celebrating mid-winter festivities, January and February are serious berry months for birds and mammals aiming to survive winter...
In our December instalment about Hothfield we focus on mosses and lichens on the reserve. Read on to find out more.
Long-time volunteer Margery Thomas explores what Hothfield Heathlands is like on a crisp November day.
The glossy green spears that pierced dense leaf litter in late winter are now transformed into sheets of violet-purple-blue in the woodland edges of the reserve. The magical bluebell weeks began fairly early, a soft scent and a flood of colour that changes with the light and is tricky to catch accurately in photos since the flowers are not one solid colour.
