Forgot to post this I did my last @rspb.bsky.social Wednesday wander guided walk before the closure of #RyeMeads it was lovely & also a little sad 😔 however I do have a special walk booked for Sunday 1st November the closing day .. Watch this space for details of #ThamesWater opening the site soon 👍

Had a lovely #VolunteerThankYouParty at #RyeMeads @rspbengland.bsky.social sadly the last one due to it’s closure in November but I received my 5 year long service award 😍 sad I can’t add to that 🥴 nice to catch up with such lovely people/friends hopefully will still volunteer with #ThamesWater

Small trap yesterday VC20 #RyeMeads highlights include Vestal (pristine) Old lady Orange sallow
L-album wainscot & Black rustic plus a few regulars

Hey Moira how ironic I have them at #RyeMeads

Hey Moira we have it growing on a section of #RyeMeads much more delicate & pretty than its brutish cousin Himalayan balsam
