A quiet month with fewer sightings of wildlife.
A very small number of Silver Studded Blue Butterflies were recorded, also a low number of Dragonfly and Damselfly, for the period. However, a good number of Grasshoppers and Crickets were seen in all locations on site. Only one Marsh Gentian plant has been found to date and two Common Helleborine (Orchid). Due to the wet weather there has been a sharp decrease in recording of the Common Lizard which are normally very evident this time of year.
The earlier search for Autumn food by the birds has been noted, taking Blackberries, Rowan and Holly berries, all of which have developed ahead of time.
Rainfall for the period approx 65 millimetres
