The sun finally decided to come out today. But it's still very chilly. Nevertheless, walking in Ladock Woods is very refreshing. Seen loads of amazing wildlife: Buzzard, Jay, Goldcrest, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Wood Pigeon, Chaffinch, Coal TIt, Robin, Long-tailed Tit, Dunnock, Wren, Song Trush, Magpie, Rooks, Grey Squirrel, a few Fungi and a lot more... Had an enjoyable walk in the mud in Ladock Woods. The smell of the pine woods is just sooo relaxing. Very soothing. If I only I can save the scent in a bottle. Some of the lovely fungi we saw today. Frosty and icy!

In 1972-3 I photographed a man stripping bark from oak coppice for the Groggan's tannery, Grampound, possibly in Ladock Wood: it was certainly in a Duchy wood and it was somewhere west of Grampound. I would like to know who the man was and whether he is still alive - a tall order, but I am hoping to use a photo of him at work in the book I'm completing on British native trees and woodland. Because of the possibility of him being alive - he would be about 90 now - the publishers require me to get his permission.
