I probably wont write too much more about the new day job, maybe a monthly summary? I'm learning and seeing lots of new things, but need to get back to the 'days out' theme, where this all began.
So, Rooksbury. My local nature reserve is booming. Lots of hatchings and spawnings and what ever its called when damselflys go upstairs and leave the water for their new chapter in life.
The cygnets are now a month old and the baby water vole, in fact all water vole are getting harder to spot as the vegetation grows. They are still there but not so easy to see.
The wild flower meadow, (read bit of grass that isn't really managed) has many many bee orchids in it. I've never seen one before this year and now they are like buses! At work we saw 31 in a very small area. Great to see.
A few pics from June. in chronological order. click to enlarge.
