Boultham Park
enter… find nature
Boultham Park hides its wonders
flora and fauna
hedgerows… privet…
hawthorn… laurel.. woodland walks
lake bank side vistas
siskins… goldcrests… gems
sparrowhawks… if your lucky
sneaky brown rats too
floating treasures… ducks
mallard… tufted… goosanders
widgeon… on good days
nuthatches… winter…
feeding stations… eye candy
great… blue… coal… titmice
a mammal mouse too
the cheeky little wood mouse
house mouse wannabe
squirrels… grey… sorry
reds swansong… long gone wonders
hedgehogs… dusk time joy
moles… very lucky…
a live one to photograph
mine… not a joy… dead
muntjac deer o yes
early morn… before dusk, they hide
kingfishers… jewels
bats yes… skimming lake
to drink and masticate
calm water… feast time
wild… cultivated
flora in great abundance
for your eyes only
invertebrates
macro… micro… all delights
chances for new finds
zyginella
pulchra… leafhopper
a county first
z…. pulchra
the second UK record
its host sycamore
record registered
entomological fact
chinstraped… red… green… beaut
butterflies many
look for chequered skippers… and
white letter hairstreaks
white letter hairstreak
on the UK threatened list
host plants… elm species
