LBS Field Meeting to Dibbinsdale, April 25th 2015

Including our leader, Steve Cross, 16 of us headed across the railway bridge from Bromborough Rake station directly into the woodland at SJ 34151 81887.  The meeting was well-timed, with the Wood Anemones still flowering well and the Bluebells just starting to open up in earnest.  Steve's route took us through the wooded slopes of Dibbinsdale as well as the wet valley bottom and into Brotherton Park before returning to the station.
	
The site does not lend itself to simple recording, lying across four 1km grid squares (monads) each within a different cluster of 4 1km squares (tetrads).  The tetrads entered were SJ38K, SJ38F, SJ38G and SJ38L, the four lists are not complete for each monad but do attempt to give a total list for the entire meeting across all four areas.
