Lots of colourful summer flowers on #LindowCommon, #Wilmslow at the moment - including fireweed, thistles and ragwart. My favourite right now is Meadowsweet also known as Meadow QueenπŸ‘‘. See it now in the Southwest corner of the Black Lake.

Site highlight: Lindow Common SSSI, Wilmslow - bit.ly/2IajdJR. One of only a few small areas of lowland heath in Cheshire. As well as areas of heath, visitors can enjoy the other habitats, which add to the Common’s richness – a fringe of woodland, wet mires & Black Lake.

Meteorological Autumn on #LindowCommon, #Wilmslow. Where did Summer go? The grey gloom finally gave way to some end of day sunshine. More of that please before Winter...

About 25mins until the autumnal equinox (aka astronomical autumn). Approx equal length of daylight and darkness.β˜€οΈπŸŒœ Cheshire East Countryside Rangers have already begun the autumn tidy up on #LindowCommon #Wilmslow by cutting back some of the vegetation on the banks of the Black Lake. #MissingSummer

Excellent talk from Joshua Styles today at Martin Mere. Reminded me how lucky we are to have Round-leaved Sundews and Bog Asphodels on #LindowCommon. Keep you your great work Josh!
