Thank you to the 13 recorders who joined us for this recording day at an ancient woodland in the Ribble Valley.

We were met by the landowner who introduced the site and pointed out the accessible areas.  Many recorders first headed to a meadow area before moving to a few woodland glades.  Lunch was had back near the entrance before recorders dispersed throughout the remainder of the woodland.  We were also showed some of the interesting highlights of the site including some of the oldest trees and coppice stools.

Recorders: Philip Brighton, Jim Cresswell, Keith Fowler, Steve Garland, Gary Hedges, Tony Hunter, Mark Jackson, Belinda Nixie, Julia Simons, Clive Washington, Rob Zloch

A developing species list is given below, with more to be added in the coming weeks and months as recorders identify their specimens. As well as providing us with a list, recorders are asked to formally submit their recorders via their usual channels (iRecord is recommended).
