Summary

Summary

Join expert naturalist Russ Hedley for a day’s exploration of the parklands of the historic Tatton Park estate in Cheshire. At this time of year we will be on the lookout for various species of fungi; the species likely to be encountered will depend a little on the weather conditions running up to the foray, but could include Orange Birch Bolete and Artist’s Bracket. We will also take our time to follow the herds of Red Deer as they rut; the stags look at their most magnificent at this time of the year, and photographic opportunities against a backdrop of autumnal colours abound. Of course, there will be plenty of birding to enjoy during the day too, with numerous woodland species such as Nuthatch and Treecreeper. Please note that the cost of vehicle entry to the parkland (£7 per vehicle) is not included in the cost of the Day Trip and must be booked online in advance or paid on arrival on the day.

  • Beautiful autumn colours at Tatton Park
  • Magnificent Red Deer during their autumn rut
  • Enjoy a little fungus foray, with possible species including Orange Birch Bolete and Artist's Bracket

Tour Leader: Russell Hedley

Russell grew up in the north west of England developing a great passion for wildlife from an early age. He graduated in Animal Conservation from the University of Cumbria in 2007 and then started working in wildlife education giving talks to school groups about Cumbrian wildlife. Later he began providing wildlife education experiences to nurseries, schools and wildlife charities. Over the following years his knowledge and understanding of the UK flora and fauna flourished, alongside a love of sharing the wonders of the natural world with others. Russ has helped wildlife charities such as the Canal and Rivers Trust and the Woodland Trust develop their wildlife education department, and trains volunteers and staff in wildlife identification and public speaking skills.

His enthusiasm for the natural world makes him a valued member of the Naturetrek leader team. Russell’s love of nature began with ornithology but he has now developed into a well-rounded naturalist who not only highlights interesting species but demonstrates how their relationship with other species and environments connect them all to the greater web of life.
