I've not seen any glow worms for years. We used to walk down a narrow lane from the camp to a pub in Tarrant Langton and there were hundreds of them in the hedgerow. |

Groan!
But the Mendips are well within their range - time for some survey work, I feel. Take your bat detector, nightshade, the little green lights that some have are a magnet for males!

henrya | Ooh! If anyone decides a survey is in order I'm up for it!
...just as long as the terrain isn't too hard on my wheelchair. Or maybe I could just add the medips to the list of obscure places I've 'come a cropper'. Hahah |
