Hi all,<\/p>\n

Caspian and Tanith are back.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we spent a lot of time researching British woodland in preparation for our woodland expedition today. We were really interested in learning about different tree barks and woodland bees. We found out thag there is a larger oak tree species called turkey oak. It is orange and has much bigger leaves. We actually saw one today!! We also wrote about the woods and how they make us feel.<\/p>\n

At the forest, I see nature reclaiming it’s life essence. (Caspian)<\/p>\n

Today we visited the woods. Wow!! We identified wild flowers, (yarrow, dog rose, sorrel, plantain, thistle, clover, foxglove, speedwell) different tree species, (oak, beech, acer, turkey oak, birch, ash) grasshoppers (Tanith actually held one), butterflies, frog spit (insect homes) and even a common lizard which was the first any of have ever seen. It was resting in some tree bark along with a lot of black beetles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As no one was about, we were able to walk as far as Holywood railway station. Mum used to be an engine driver on an old railway so she taught us lots about how the railway line works in Holywood. Also down there is the bee association and we saw all the bee hives and a lot of bees collecting pollen. In the Woods, we discovered the burrow of a woodland bee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a brilliant walk. We took it really slowly (Mum has to wear her leg brace) but it meant we could really enjoy our surroundings. We are really lucky to live in Holywood with all this nature.<\/p>\n

We hope you like our photographs.<\/p>\n
