🏴 Outdoor bits and pieces and things that interest me.
Meadowland
Mr.C joins the amazing Dr Stephanie Tyler MBE as she undertakes a meadows survey of a local church, St. Michael's Church, Glascoed.
Dr Tyler is a British ornithologist, zoologist, naturalist, conservationist, and author from Monmouthshire, who is now the President of the Monmouthshire Meadows Group.
It was a joy and a pleasure to spend time with a true expert with an encyclopaedic knowledge, I hope you enjoy this as much I enjoyed the experience.

Hi there, thank you for making your videos and sharing all the information they are so lovely to watch. You have such a nice way of describing the Trees I think I have watched them all now and I do hope you make more. Simon
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say 🙏
Top man Mr C !! Good to see you keeping well sir! Its been a lovely summer and now a gorgeous colourful autumn! Keep well mate..Marky mark
I'd love to see a quick update now at the end of September. Would you do anything else to the area this coming winter, or is it a case of leaving it for a number of years before re-coppicing?
Thanks ..that is fascinating. I shall have a go at making the string. Some of the many nettles in my garden are as tall as me so it should make good source material. There will plenty left for the local wildlife!
