More cold around Alton

Bracket funghi on Horse Chestnut in Chawton...

Wild Carrot in the frost...

A buzzard hunched on a fence in the mist.

Signs of the sun trying to break through the fog...

Wild Roses...

It may be just the 10 January but spring is starting...

Alton Wildlife Blog

The purpose of this blog is to report on the wildlife of the area around Alton, Hampshire, UK.

All types of wildlife are covered, within an (approx) 15 mile radius of the town. This encompasses a wide range of habitats, including woodland and farmland, the prime heath-land of both the Wield and the Thames Basin, chalk download, and river valleys such as the Wey and Itchen.

Within Alton itself, then Kings Pond and the Flood Meadows are of particular interest.

If you have a similar interest in the area, then we recommend Alton Natural History Society, which runs a programme of indoor meetings in the winter, and outdoor field meetings from spring through to Autumn. See http://altonnaturalhistory.webnode.com/ for more details.
