Quite a few shovelers... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0

…to September which started in the garden, with Dad mowing the lawn, and I found two female Roesel’s bush-crickets, which are quite rare, in the long grass.
On the 2nd I was lucky enough to be invited to Dean Hill Park by Pat Woodruffe who readily showed me the wonderful flora and fauna there.
There was quite a lot of red hemp-nettle (well - two patches) and I got some great photos!! Along the old railway we also... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
