Barnwell Country Park

 A very enjoyable trip to Barnwell Country Park with the RPS Nature group and Paxton Volunteer group. We were shown round by Matthew, an RPSNature member but also a volunteer at Barnwell. This Northamptonshire Country Park is small but had a good variety of subjects to photograph, both birds (later post) and meadow/trees/wetland habitats to explore more 'closely'. My highlight was photographing my first pseudoscorpion found in the leaf litter under a log. The second photo is on Mike's handkerchief - the detail in the weave shows just how small this is. Under or near the same log there were various beetles, wood lice and Enchytraeus (White worms includes about 40 species of annelid worms) and a Ground Hopper. (ID sheet at end)
