A fascinating walk focused on plants and geology.
This slug and mushroom is awaiting ID.

There seems to be a huge crop of acorns this year. In addition to the regular Pedunculate Oak, the introduced Turkey Oak was also found. A number of galls including Knopper Gall - particularly large, made by the Gall Wasp Andricus quercuscalicis.
After we split from the main walk we headed up towards Caesar's Camp proper but did not reach the top. Once the rain had passed the sun appeared and so did some butterflies:
11 or more Grayling
2 Small Heath
1 Speckled Wood.
But overall the day was very quiet for insects and birds.
