The aurora borialis came to Shropshire tonight with the northern sky turning red and green against a backdrop of stars. A lovely sight.

We also do know that fungi are not plants! We have lots of wild mushrooms, toadstools and other fungi in and around the field. With one or two exceptions, they are rather hard to identify and we generally leave them well alone. We certainly don’t know enough to even consider eating any of them.

We have now identified a total of 123 different wildflowers at Tipton’s Croft. Some have become very common and can be seen every summer all over the meadow: such as common knapweed and bird’s-foot trefoil. Others we are unlikely to see that much: common poppies and cornflowers like ploughed fields rather than meadows. All are welcome though.
