Yours truly kicksampling + a bug on a flower

Hi all.
Jenny Jackson kindly sent me some photos of our session at the Reserve for Junior Rangers
on Saturday last. I'm the one in the red jacket, by the way. The yellow and black striped job is probably a hoverfly feeding on a scabious, but I am not sure which ones they are.

Fungal Forage at Greenfield LNR

Hi all. Well once again the faithful two of Rachel and Mum Jackie came to the event on Saturday 13th. September. Also present were Annette, Jenny, Albert and Sue not to mention Rocky the Jack Russell. What is the matter with the rest of you? Don't you want the Junior Rangers project to succeed. Rachel has signed up for the First Aid course in October. Come on you lot! It is FREE after all.
We found a number of fungi and tried to identify them. We also did a trial river kick sample and everyone had a look at the invertebrates that were turned up.
Afterwards we all went in to Albert's and Sue's camper van and had cups of tea, cordial and bikkies. A great chat session ensued and everyone said they had enjoyed the two hours. What's more the sun shone and it was great. So please try to come on the next event. Apart from the First Aid course, we shall be putting on a Hallowe'en event in October. It's up to you. The chance is there to get involved. But you all have to make the effort. Happy Wild Life Adventures. Annette

Course for Junior Rangers and Kids in Colne

Would you like to go on a FREE First Aid Course in the October Half Term? Yes? Well sign up by contacting annette.hawkins1@ntlworld.com or phone me on 01282 859745.
Word of advice: it may be Free but if you sign you turn up for the course. We are spending money given for the purpose, so let's not waste it!

Secondly, the Colne Water Angling Club is offering to put on a course in Flyfishing, fly tying, and water safety INDOORS during the winter. Again sign up, and turn up when we give you the details.
If Junior Rangers Project is going to work, you all need to make an effort and support the events as they come up.
Don't forget we want to hear from YOU too. Let us have photos, poems, observations and drawings about Wild Life and we will put it in the Scrap Book or publish it in the next Newsletter, Cheers for now.

Dratted weather

Hi everyone. Sorry but we have had to postpone the BBQ plus Bat & Moth Evening due to the awful forecast for Friday's weather. As soon as there is a window in the weather we'll let you know when it's on again. Depends on when Mike Fisher can manage to come again. It's disappointing but we've got some courses that you can go on. See next blog. greencrumblie
