A morning immersed in Nature on the farm
With Mark Cocker
aclaimed naturalist and author
21st October 2023 9.15-1pm
Spend a morning exploring the glorious range of animals and plants that live on an organic, nature friendly farm in October. Examine the (live) contents of our moth trap and go on into the wider landscape to look for birds, insects, trees, bumblebees, dragonflies, butterflies, plants, fungi. We will look at everything that calls this agricultural landscape home at this time of year with the aim of exploring how wildlife adjusts to reduced sunlight and the lower temperatures of a Suffolk Autumn.
