Making the most of the sunshine

Tuesday, September 27th 2011

The warm conditions seemed to fetch out all kinds of invertebrates across the site. John captured this stunning shield bug on his camera.

Common Darters are still to be seen in 'clouds' along the boardwalks.

The Orb spider was closed up tight in its nest this morning but the afternoon sun enticed it to open up the nest entrance!

Whilst clearing scrub, volunteers came across this master of camouflage, a looper moth caterpillar!

Other tasks carried out by volunteers today include repairing a dam, identifying wildflowers (57 in flower), burning thistles and leading a guided walk. Students from the Dales School helped to carry brash to the bonfire too. All in all, a great days work! A special thank you to John for providing the photos for today's blog post.
