Grassland butterfly season is starting

The butterflies which lay their eggs on grasses, such as the Meadow Browns and Ringlets and the Skippers are all on the wing now.

Our faithful supporters, Roger and Andrew, have topped the grass around the trees which makes the area accessible.  Unfortunately there are still plenty of thistles and this makes walking around without boots a prickly experience.  The trees are growing well, considering the nibbling that has taken place this year already.

Rowan or Mountain Ash - will have berries for birds

Wild Cherry

We now have a pedestrian gate at the corner of the Tennis courts, so people can easily walk in and out without climbing the fence.
