The start of the 26 week butterfly transect recording season. This year our volunteer team will also be recording adult dragonflies and damselflies.
Week 1 – Nikki Mahadevan saw 3 Peacock and 2 Comma butterflies on the transect, and later on saw a Small Tortoiseshell and a White (unidentified).
Too early in the season for any Dragonflies or Damselflies.
Other wildlife:
Freshly hatched frogspawn on middle pond, Tachina ursina (a fly), Buff-tailed Bumblebee entering hole in ground.
