Flooded Meadows at Old Amersham

23rd February..... Brimstone.

Spent a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon, mainly cutting the Laurel hedge (always try to leave the hedge cutting 'til the end of Winter to give the wildlife as much benefit from the hedge as possible, to provide food & roosting cover etc), when I saw my first Brimstone of the year fluttering across the lawn. Stewart had he's first on the 15th of the month.
The pair of Mallards have been visiting at first light on a daily basis since the 19th, & maybe it's just a coincedence, but Duck Weed has been evident on the waters surface since they've been back. No sign of any frog spawn yet.
Don.
