It was a beautiful day, and nature decked in her spring garb of ever-varying green, displayed that wonderful freshness with which no other part of the year can vie. After several hours\u2019 enjoyment in the woods and lanes, the party met at the Angler\u2019s Arms, Wintersett, where, after tea, the president (Mr Alderman Wainwright, F.L.S.) took the chair and subsequently named the plants about fifty species which had been collected during the afternoon. \u2013 Mr Taylor named the conchological specimens, of which fourteen species were exhibited, and Mr Sims named the geological specimens and made some interesting remarks on the geological formations of the neighbourhood. \u2013 Messrs. Parkin and Lumb, whose attention had been chiefly directed during the day\u2019s excursion to the observation of the spring migrants, reported they had seen fifteen species of them, and that they had also noticed a Heron and a pair of Common Gull besporting themselves upon the reservoir. Messrs. Fogg and Heald exhibited the larvae of several species of geometae. Returning by way of Hawe Park, the party arrived back at Wakefield as the evening closed in, after spending a most enjoyable and delightful day.<\/p>\n<p><em>Spotted by Lesley Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wakefield Express- 31 May 1873 WAKEFIELD NATURALISTS\u2019 SOCIETY On Saturday last the members of this Society had a field-day at Nostell, Ryhill, and Wintersett.
