Tuesday 29th March 2011 Ash Levels

As I looked around the ash levels this morning looking for any migrants I counted 5 Brown Hares, 7 Peacock and 4 Small Tortoiseshell Butterflies, also 3 Bee Flies, (Gadget)  

Tuesday 22nd March 2011 cliff-top at Pegwell

Monday 21st March 2011 Ash Levels

A few hours this afternoon on the Levels 2 Brown Hares, 5 Peacock and 2 Small Tortoiseshell Butterflies, (Gadget)

Friday 11th March 2011 Pegwell Bay

I was quite surprised to notice a Lizard Orchid Rosette growing on 'Milton's mound' (not my fault ... you can't blame me ... others gave the  spot on the Country Park this name!) ... anyway to cut a long story short it got even more surprising when I noticed there were seven in total! There are 20+ Lizards growing further west of this spot on the Country Park but I've never noticed them growing there before ... better inform Tony to see if he can arrange a 'no mow zone' as I don't know how to go about it?  (Phil M)

Monday 7th March 2011 Ebbsfleet Thanet

While out today over at Ebbsfleet I noted two Butterflies the fist was a Small Tortoiseshell and the second was a Peacock they were the fist of this year, (Gadget)

Thursday 3rd March 2011 Pegwell Bay

A bit of excitement today at Pegwell Bay a 45ft Sperm Whale dead I would like to add was beached in the bay, this gave good views to many locals and a lot to talk about over a pint in the local pubs, that over looking the Bay, (Gadget)

Thursday 3rd March 2011 Pegwell Bay

There are still quite a number of Winter Stalkballs near the garage pools. They can also be seen over near Prince's Golf Course at Sandwich Bay. (Claire Ward)

Wednesday 2nd March 2011 Ramsgate Cemetery

While I was up the cemetery today I noticed a few patches of Purple Crocuses around the fringes of the north side and two lonely Daffodils, on east side there was lots of Winter Heliotrope in large clumps, but sadly the cemetery has been cleared of most of the shrubbery and wild flowers, (Gadget)
