Caring for the countryside on your doorstep
24 April 2018
Now that the weather has warmed up (a little) there are beginning to be more butterflies around. Peacock and Comma have been seen in the valley for some months but now there are others including Red Admiral (above), Orange Tip and Speckled Wood. Lets hope this is a good year for butterflies and moths.
