Snowdrops in Lochend community woodland in Dunbar
Waves of #snowdrops along the floor of Lochend Woods - #Dunbar #communitywoodland. A pleasant local place for a stroll.
🌿 Week 3 of the SSE Renewables funded Nature Journalling Programme at Skirling!
This week we began at Broughtonknowe Community Woodland, taking time to slow down and really tune into the natural world around us. ✨

Snowdrops in a community woodland
Our local #communitywoodland is carpeted with #snowdrops at this time of year — a gentle reminder that even as winter lingers, new beginnings are already on their way. Always grateful to the #volunteers who manage the woodland for the #community

Jelly ear fungus
Jelly ear fungus
Jelly ear fungus
On a dreich day the saprophytic jelly ear #fungus, with its distinctive gelatinous form stood out in our #communitywoodland. Found mainly on dead or dying wood, quietly breaking it down and recycling nutrients back into the woodland #ecosystem improving its health.

Nice to be out in Locherwood #CommunityWoodland with young people from #Curosalus for some #outdoor practical work. They helped plant Ivy and Broom as part of our #rewilding Woodlands Project #healthandwellbeing
Roe deer in community woodland
Community woodland
Having a dawdle through our #communitywoodland & briefly had the company of resident #roedeer. They were browsing at the edge of a wetland area within the wood; building up their winter fat reserves. I retreated to avoid disturbing them.

Giant puffball
Parasol mushroom
Coral spot
Shaggy ink cap
It’s definitely one of the times of year when our native woodlands are bursting with mushrooms & toadstools. Just a few from our Dunbar #communitywoodland today - (puff ball, parasol mushroom, coral spot & shaggy ink cap) - vital part of a healthy ecosystem

A pleasure and a privilege working tonight with the Renfrewshire Young Carers who are embarking on their #DoEaward. They planted wildflowers and trees at Locher Wood #communitywoodland in the drizzle @rencan1.bsky.social
Pathway through woodland, evening sunlight dappling through the trees
View across to the hills. Sheep and lambs in foreground Row of trees at edge of field. Glimpses of the Town (Moffat) to the right, farm building to the left. Hills in the distance, the Southern Upland Way goes up and along those hills.
Early evening walk 💙🏴💙

Sparrowhawk
Local greenspaces are so important to value - community woodland #Dunbar #EastLothian. Always lovely to see the #snowdrops popped through and a fleeting glimpse of a #sparrowhawk before it was flushed by a walker on the other side of the wall.

Finally a flower other than gorse! These snowdrops are in their second year of flowering at Easter Breich Wood. Need a very keen eye to spot them!

A stack of green leaves comes from the right hand side of the photo. The stack ends in purple vetch flowers. There is an orange and black bee feeding from the flower.
Bee on Vetch
I couldn’t believe it! I was photographing this #vetch and along came a #bee and photobombed the image. How lucky am I!

This is a photo of a beech tree growing out of the ground. However, we see that there has been soil erosion underneath the tree and the roots that are growing down into the ground have been exposed for a section.
Soil Erosion
Amazing how much of a tree we don't see. #Soil #erosion under a #beech #tree.

In a shaded part of the woodland is this little plant. The leaves have been photographed out of focus but you can still see their overall shape. The focus is on 3 bright pink flowers that have darker veins of colour running the full length of each petal. They are pink purslane.
Pink Purslane
I think this is a beautiful pink flower. I hadn't come across #Pink #Purslane before as its not native to this area.

This full photograph is taken up with the bright vibrant yellow of the Broom flowers. This is set against the non-spiky leaves of the bush.
Broom
I particularly like the Broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the spring as it looks really vibrant.

This is a downy birch which is covered in lichen. On the left hand side is a large bracket fungus which I think is a birch polypore.
