A welcome to all people from Essex. I hope you're familiar with the Essex Field Club Essex Field Club and can share your experiences with others. I'm a bit worried that moving from the 'urban sprawl' into 'farmland' might be rather like the frying pan and the fire - certainly the great big patches of species paucity in Essex are the arable farmlands! Hope you've got organic farming near you! 
Looking forward to your contributions,
Cheers, Paul Quote:

I'm 41, and a teacher so, as everyone knows, I've lots of holidays to go wandering about Britain taking in the sights; sometimes on foot over hills and mountains, around the coast by yacht, or in a kayak down some of our wilder rivers.
I've just moved from an urban sprawl in south Essex and have rediscovered the joys of living in countryside (I grew up in farmland in mid-essex).
I'm looking forward to taking part in the forums and maybe adding to the Gallery.
Cheers Everyone

Hi Paul
Hadn't heard of the Essex Field Club but just gave it a quick look. I'll be checking all the local lavendar bushes for Rosemary Beetles. What time of year would one expect it to be around?

The last time I checked, it hadn't been seen in North Essex - and not much in S. Essex compared to the numbers in London and Norfolk - perhaps it's the wrong kind of lavender! The 'adults' are most numerous in May-July with a June peak but they have been found in every calender month .... the larvae are largest and most notable April-May.
Have fun! Quote:
