Hello folks last week we got a chance to practise doing some surveying at a site in Doncaster with a professional, it was great day really relaxed since we were just getting to learn morre about surveying instead of beign under pressure to complete a job, they taught us about loads about different wild plants and we got to have a go at identfying some as well. As usual mini Scott and the rest of the Carbon Army got to come along with us as well ...

At lunchtime they had a look at some of the apples we picked from one of the trees they're small (well ok that depends on your scale) but, they tasted good
After lunch we got to do some pond dipping which made me very happy ;D and Scott decided to try out his boat in part of the ditch

Later he decided to take a look at what we'd found in the water

We actually found loads of intesting stuff tiny Sticklebacks, Pond Skaters, Water Boatmen, Pond Snails, Water Scorpions and even a Dragonfly nympy

Great photos, Scott. Nice to see your little crew at work and enjoying themselves. :wave:

I take it Scott had to row because of the danger of fouling the propellor of his outboard with weed? A water scorpion would be a pretty terrifying beast to a klicky, let alone the dragonfly nymph!

Those are great pics!

Thanks I think it's a good mix of work and play for my little guys ;) we sure had a good day nice and warm and very interesting what we were doing so I hope they enjoyed it as well ;)

Didn't particularly think about that but, you're probably right I think his motor would probably have got choked up with weeds plus there's not much room in the boat for 1 to row and the other to steer with the motor and I think rowing looks better ;) maybe next time we'll have a look how he looks manning the motor though. I'm sure you're probably right about all the creepy crawlies as well :o although Scott says when they're all safely contained in a tray of water they look much less scary ;D ;)
Those are great pics!
Thanks I took loads more photos but, since they're mainly of plants and the group I didn't want to put them on here however, I think there's some interesting ones amongst them so I've put them ina folder on the photoobucket and will post a link in case anyone's interested

Great pictures, did the clickies leave any apples for you or did they eat them all? ???
And do your co workers get along well with the clickies?

Actually I just found one last tiny apple I forgot to eat it last week :-[ it tasted lovely and sweet ;D. The guys at BTCV really like my little men guess they're like mascots and they always smile :) everyone thinks that the BTCV logo on the back is good and I've also got one fella who looks like one of our former Volunteer Officers so all the people I've shown thta and the mini Kelly Kettle to have been impressed with my handymanship :)

Thanks gotta love doing a bit of foraging the site where we were working on last Thursday has some good apple trees I pickked one of each of the two variities I could see growing there last time we were up there so knew one was to sweet and the other had a really nice sweet flavour so I filled my lunchbox with tiny apples. Also noticed when I was buying a pumpkin fto have a go at carving from a really good greengrocers near me that they had toffee apples, I was on my way out so I didn't go back for one but, it's been years since I've had one and at only 65p I think I'll have to pop in and buy one later this week ;) yum ;D
