Cubs Wild Flower Walk

20th June 2017 by Neil

What a great summer evening on the nature reserve. We found beetles, common flowers, and rare orchids (4 species!)… ooh and quite a few wild, almost feral Cubs 🙂

Thank you Peter Hill for your expert guidance on the evening. Peter helps to manage the reserve and is the reserve wild flower expert.

erm another orchid…. I think this was the southern marsh orchid. very rare but the nature reserve has 4. practically impossible to find unless you know where to look.

Thanks Peter for your expert guidance on the reserve. The cubs really picked up on your enthusiasm. We found poisonous hemlock and edible daisies….

its an Orchid! rare .. but called the Common Orchid.. absolutely stunning- my favorite flower on the reserve.

Anyone know what this beetle is? Our resident entomologist cub found it.

We learnt the large white Daisy type flowers are edible… good for salads. Can you spot the teasels…? good for Baloo to comb his hair with

The reserve is an absolute riot of flowers in June
