Many of the plants in our wild garden, created 2 years ago
with the help of George Millins, have
now finished flowering. However in
recent weeks the warmer weather has led to a marked increase in insects, bees
and butterflies. This is encouraging
because in the early summer the lack of activity was concerning. The pond continues to host a lot of
dragonflies and other flying things, and this year for the first time we have
some frogs.
In previous years duck have eaten the frogspawn, but it
seems that the arrival of a pair of ferociously territorial moorhens in the
spring seems to have seen ‘ducklife’ off this year.
I have received a copy of the first edition of a local
newsletter, Suffolk Wildlife News, which seeks to draw together the activities
of ecological groups in the Sudbury area.
It has been created by Nick Miller of Bures, who can be contacted on nicknewmiller56@gmail.com. Nick would like to
hear from any groups that would like to be included and also anyone who would
like to receive the newsletter on a regular basis.
I have put the newsletter under a
tab above for a limited period.
