Had my first sighting of a male Common Blue butterfly at Raw Nook NR this morning. Incidentally this is my earliest record for the species.
Found what I thought was a new Ladybird today also at Raw Nook NR…….but it turn out to be a Harlequin Ladybird just about to have dinner……
What was pleasing to see is the return of the Northern Marsh Orchid at Toad Holes Beck with 2 been found. They were not there last year and probably flourished due to the wet weather.
