| Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea |
On Sunday evening we walked to the lake in Brookfield Park
and watched the ducks being fed by happy families. It was good to see a wonderful
amenity being used to the benefit of children who will hopefully become
proponents of conservation. It is so important that the next generation becomes
involved in the natural world. A heron landed on the lake’s platform and stayed
there for 30 minutes but I never saw it catch a fish.
On Sunday morning I attended a metal detecting dig where I saw a Dark Strawberry Tortrix moth, a pair
of mating ground beetles and a Hedge Bindweed flower that had been reshaped by
the recent rains.
