YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION EXCURSIONS IN 2006

摘要

On a day when the forecast was for persistent heavy showers, only seven members, from six societies, turned up in a fine drizzle; however, heavy showers failed to materialize and by lunchtime the drizzle had cleared. All, except the President, were botanists, so the meeting amounted to a botanical outing, albeit quite a rewarding one. The Old Glebe Field was spectacular and members spent well over an hour enjoying the rich diverse sward before transferring to the Bolton Estate where Lord Bolton had kindly permitted access to West Wood. Here the lunchtime break was enlivened by a close view of a yearling roebuck; a second was seen later in the day.
