Monday 17th April 2006 Kingsgate

Lots of insects (mostly Hoverflies and various Bees) about in this morning's sun, mostly nectaring on Alexander’s not yet sprayed or cut by the Council. Butterflies remain scarce with just Commas and Peacocks. Of note for this area were a number of Bee Flies. More in the way of flowers now, the only patches of Common Storks bill and Early Scurvy-grass in the area being the most notable. (F Solly)

Two extras were an early Holly Blue and a Comma butterflies. (Don Wilks)

Sunday 2nd April 2006 Stodmarsh NNR

A brief visit to Stodmarsh in rather blustery conditions.  A number of Toads were very vocal in the pond by the Car Park and a single Red Admiral in the Alder Carr was the only things of note. (F Solly)
