Darlington & Teesdale Naturalists Field Club

Darlington & Teesdale Naturalists Field Club came for a guided walk around the reserve. They found out about bird ringing, visited the wet meadows and noted all the flowers out at the moment, including Crab Apple, Yellow Pimpernel, Cotton Grass and of course, the Early Purple Orchids. They saw the Oystercatchers and Lapwings on the wet meadows area and the bluebell banks along the Beck.

Lots of visitors were around this afternoon despite the heavy showers.

Ox-eye Daisy, Common Vetch and Spearwort join the list of flowers on the reserve.

Mayflies were seen on the wing.
