Lancing Nature | habitats |

I had a quick look along a hedgerow around a brassica field at the
edge of the railway which runs east-west through Lancing.

I was checking if I could spot any number of new shoots or flowers.
There seemed to be very little activity until I found just one flowering
bud, a few inches away was another. After that no more were seen. On an
Elder was a very lonely looking small cluster of flower buds when all the
other branches were bare.
In the distance across the field, Lancing College was visible bathing in a
cloud of low mist rising from the river Adur and cloaking the valley.

 
 
 
 


At the corner of the field is this barn used now as a paddock, the wall surrounding North Barn Farm is encrusted with Lichen




Note: If any one remembers the derailment of a train in Lancing about two
years ago. It was a few yards from this barn. It's only access is across
the track via a private gate.
