Holidays and lack of highlights has resulted in little activity on my part, so I’d to finish the year off with this weeks activities being mainly from the Thrush family devouring the berries on site, birds have been Song and Mistle Thrush, plenty of Blackbirds along with numerous Redwing and Fieldfares
Other highlights included a Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch and Siskins, a Grey Heron and a Common Buzzard putting in brief appearances
So 2018 was a good year for Butterflies with one new species, Common Blue, making 21 in all now for the site and great to see so many Small Coppers again this year after a three year absence
The Moths gave seven new species this year and Hoverflies came in with three new species
The birds gave Forty-eight species from the total of Sixty-three for the site but nothing new this year
See the total Species List for 2018 here PRESS
I’ll leave the year saying thank you for joining me again in 2018 and please return in 2019.
My final message is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
