Lovely day out at Portholme Meadow SSSI looking at soils and plants, to follow up our webinar series about the new CGS18 Floodplain Meadows Action in England. We compared soils and plants in drier and wetter parts of the site and talked drainage management. We also got hailed on!
Wonderful trip to West Fermanagh with the @floodplainmead.bsky.social to explore the meadows around Lough Erne. Thanks in particular to Giles at @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social for arranging most of the visits. & our hosts at RSPB sites and @nationaltrust.org.uk at Crom, base for Springwatch next week!
What’s happening in #FloodplainMeadows in June? The meadows are now at their peak. You’ll find our favourite crimson great burnet flowers & the heady scent of meadowsweet.
