Reminders of Summer

Sunday, October 28th 2018

Looking through photographs to use in the displays in the Activity Room brings back memories of our hot sunny suummer.

Zigzag Clover, one of three we have recorded on the reserve, fed many bees.

Brimstone Butterflies kept us on our toes as we waited for them to settle to feed, so a photograph could be taken.

Guelder Rose has produced much fruit from the white flowers, although not many birds seem to like them.

Red Campion always flowers at the head of the Scrapes first.  Down along Risedale Beck it was still in flower last week.

Although the summer was hot and sunny, few records of the Common Lizard were noted.
