A couple of nice finds from pond and borrow dyke survey. First was this opossum shrimp my first ever. They are called this because they carry their young round ina pouch, like marsupials.

Fungi, New forestBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 30, 2013Leave a comment

One of the best find in the New forest was this Beef steak fungus. The great thing about fungi is you can try them from all different angles and focal lengths, thanks to the fact they don’t move!

Pond skaters on New Forest river
