It’s been a while! I recently came to the end of my MSc research project fieldwork after surveying 300 quadrats across South Lancashire. Data analysis and write up is now full throttle. By the end of September, I will be able to share my findings so stay tuned… #acidgrassland #grasslandfungi
Acid grassland (Ecosystems 🏞️)
Acid grassland is a nutrient-poor habitat characterised by grassy tussocks and bare ground.

A view of the common near the cricket pitch. Heath Bedstraw with white flowers in the foreground. A sandstone rock exposure in the background.
A Victorian pond on the edge of the common. Houses and cars behind the pond indicate the urban nature of the site.
Alabonia geofrella, a small moth with pale, wedge-shaped markings, and electric-blue lines on its orangey-brown wings. It is sitting on the tip of a leaf.
Despite the dull weather, a great field meeting today at Tunbridge Wells Common, led by @ianbeavis.bsky.social. An urban site with acid grassland, healthy areas, woodland and water. #KentNature #acidgrassland #urbannature#urbannature #urbanwildlife
