This site is an attempt to chronicle life in a small wood, a project which started in 2013 when organising three years’ worth of pictures taken for family enjoyment. Overwhelmed by the variety of life shown and how little we knew, we thought the pictures should form the basis for a photographic record of a wood in southern England.
We take photos at least once a month so that we can observe the changing seasons and record what we find. Pictures are posted over a period of weeks so the site is always a little behind. Usually there will be more photographs in spring, summer and autumn than in winter.
We are neither photographers or naturalists. Much is labelled “unidentified” or “provisionally identified” because we don’t know what it is. We are learning as we go. If you can help us to identify any of the species, we would be glad to hear from you. Please use the comment form found below each post.
