Camping where my husband grew up in @wildennerdale - what a beautifully quiet spot! Walked to Smithy Beck and finally saw the medieval shielings up there! @TullieHouse hold the finds archive- I have to open the boxes some time and have a look!

Interesting day with @CASTOResearch visiting @wildennerdale and @EdenRiversTrust

At #WildEnnerdale some Pale St John's Wort (Hypericum montanum) among the Catsear, Wild Thyme among the Mouse-ear Hawkweed, Cladonia portentosa reindeer lichen among the Bilberry & some presumably naturalised Columbine.

A selection of ferns at #WildEnnerdale: Southern Polypody (Polypodium cambricum), Hartstongue, Male Fern & not sure what species is being an epiphyte in the oak tree? #WildflowerID

In #WildEnnerdale, Birdsfoot Trefoil and Pignut filigree the meadows.
That Lakeland motif, the Foxglove, borders the woodland edge.
But I wasn't expecting to see a couple of Herdwick Sheep.

Many gorgeous framings for Ennerdale Water, from clouds to Wild Thyme to Hoary Plantain.

Welsh Poppies border the River Liza.

Can anyone help me identify this magnificent Boletus at #WildEnnerdale?

Am guessing the lower 2 are Charcoal Burners (Russula cyanoxantha) & the other is Woolly Fibrecap (Inocybe lanuginosa)?

Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterflies on the wing at Ennerdale a couple of weeks ago. They & the bees were going wild for Wild Thyme nectar.

A trio of Twayblades & a whole regiment of them, among many more thronging the shores of Ennerdale Water.
A little higher up, in the meadows, swathes of Heath Spotted Orchids among the Bog Ashphodels

At #WildEnnerdale on 26 June a spectacular profusion of orchids strewn along the lake sides: Common Spotted in their prime; Northern Marsh just going over, a Meadow Buttercup testing to see if this one likes butter; also a few Bee Orchids.

Met this enchanting, friendly little Brown Trout parr in the River Liza, Ennerdale.
