Hi! I'm Alex Boon, and this is October's nature journaling walk in my local patch of woodland. Focusing on searching for fungi today, with a little discussion of fast learning vs. slow learning when it comes to developing observational skills and a fungi hunting game to help you in your spotting.

✿ 2022 FAQ ✿
"What do you use to film your videos?"
I use a combination of a GoPro Hero9 for general walk videos and timelapses, Nikon Coolpix P1000 for wildlife and plant closeups, and occasionally my Samsung S20 for further incidental shots.
"Why do you make nature walk videos?"
Of course, I encourage everyone to just go out and see your own local nature, but at the same time I want to share my local patch with people from all around the world and for people who cannot so easily access nature. I want to inspire more engagement with the outdoors in the hope of helping people form a personal bond with the wonder of the natural world.

we have a lot of mushroom hunters here, I can only ID the Chantrel's and morels to eat, won't touch anything else, slow is the way to go!.

I just recently discovered your channel and have been watching and loving the videos. I find them informative and well, they just make me feel good inside. ❤ My mother just had a massive heart attack and I've been extremely anxious and depressed but watching this was like taking a nice walk through the woods with a good friend. Uplifting and inspiring. You are making the world a brighter, kinder place ... Thank you so much 🙏

Greetings from Western Australia Sara. There is nothing more relaxing than listening to Alex on his nature walks, or Vanessa on her narrowboat ( The Mindful Narrowboat). I do hope your mothers health is improving, maybe she would like these videos too. Take care, try to keep your spirits up 🤗🙏🌹🌹

I have been watching a lot of your videos since I discovered your channel

@AlexBoonArt Год назад

Thank you so much for watching 😊 I think I have improved a lot at making videos since these older ones 🙈

@C.G.O.Iddamalgoda Год назад

@AlexBoonArt No , Thank you for making these videos. There are so little videos about Nature Journaling on RU-vid . So you are an inspiration

@@C.G.O.Iddamalgoda You're very welcome ☺

Totally agree with slow learning especially with the multitude of fungi, the more I learn the more I don’t know!

@aliciajipson8718 Год назад

I love your approach to learning from the natural world it seems is the way to acquire and retain information the best possible way. I enjoyed this video very much.

@AlexBoonArt Год назад

Thank you so much for commenting, glad you enjoyed the video 😀

Lovely! I was thinking just the same thing about beech trees today. So lovely how they change colour in the autumn. And yes, I agree about slow learning. It's much more satisfying. I spend a lot of time searching my wildflower books for IDs &, several times, I have come upon a new-to-me plant and identified it from memory because my mind has somehow retained information about all manner of plants just from flicking through my books. It's such a pleasing thing and that would never happen with an app.

@AlexBoonArt Год назад

Beech trees are my favourite at this time of year. Thanks so much for sharing your take on the slow learning. I love to have several different books on flowers, birds, fungi (etc.) to explore and cross-reference. That time taken to look through the books works so well to ingrain information 😊

Greetings from Western Australia Alex. Have been for a wander with you for a while but I did enjoy this than you somuch. I just love listening to the wind in the trees, sometimes sounding like a freight train getting closer and closer. I envy anyone who can just rattle off the names of fungi, trees, plants etc without looking them up. I didnt quite understand how you can identify things without looking them up, how do you do that. In WA we have just entered Spring and judging how quickly its heating up Summers not far away. I saw a family of ducks in the park behind our rental yesterdsy and the parents had 15 near adult babies...I think that is quite an achievement....... what fascinates me is that all of the various duck families are at different stages of growth, we also have another family with 8 little babies. Our park is surrounded and filled with all kids of European trees I have yet to identify, some now back in full leaf while others which we thought had died are just breaking bud. Isnt nature a beautiful thing. Have a great day cheers Jenny 🌱

@AlexBoonArt Год назад

Hi Jenny, welcome back to my channel 😊 I think to identify things without looking them up just takes a lot of time spent with those things over the years. I'm not perfect at it and make loads of mistakes but that just helps you to learn when you realise you had been getting it wrong. I find that spending a lot of time getting to know one location and the species that live there, expecting them to come up year after year and seeing how they look at different stages of their life cycle, that works best for me. And that is exactly what nature journaling helps with 😊 You area sounds lovely, and how wonderful to see such a large duck family!

Helpful video. I agree with the pleasure of looking through books to ID a particular flower and then generally browsing in the hope of retaining something new. I have had fun with iNaturalist this summer as a ‘citizen science’ thing and it has occasionally forced me to stop my bike and take a photo, something I wouldn’t do otherwise. I particularly like the way you put written names on the screen as it helps memory.

@AlexBoonArt Год назад

Thanks for that, Steve. If the app is making you stop to notice and record then it is doing a good thing indeed. I will definitely be maintaining the idea of putting the names up on the screen, thanks for the feedback 😊
