Narroways!

A couple of hours on the reserve produced the usual Raven activity and 3 singing Chiffchaffs.
Insects included a very brief Broad-bodied Chaser on the pond at Boiling Wells plus a Large Red Damselfly. Also a Dark Bush-cricket nymph there. Small White, Speckled Wood and Orange-tip butterflies.

Mouse-eared Hawkweed, Black Medick in flower on the cutting and the Tuberous Comfrey near the railway line (as identified by other visitors to Narroways in the last week or so).

I was intrigued by someone' lawn in St Andrews Road this morning - there was quite a lot of Birds-foot Trefoil growing there - a plant I normally associate with flower rich meadows!
