26 May 2024: Flowers and insects

The bluebells have all but finished, but the Red Campion is out, along with other species. The following were spotted today, amongst other kinds too numerous to mention. The Pyramidal orchid has not only survived, it is now producing two flower spikes in place of the one last year.

Insects noted included a young caterpillar of the Orange-tip butterfly, so it's good to know they are breeding on site. (to be completed!)

Finally, a pair of blue tits were feeding their young in one of the nest boxes.
