Astley, Chat and Irlam mosses (other wildlife)
Permalink  



A Common Carder Bee just about still active on Perennial Sow Thistle in Wednesday's slightly milder weather, but more surprisingly still a couple of Odonata active - unfortunately not close enough to identify to species but distinctive enough. The first directly out from the display board at the site of the ex-hide, possible hunting the small black flies interested in sharing my lunch, the other hunting the long waterbody along the western side of the A Bog's Life trail.

Also 3 Common Puffballs on the nature reserve and a good crop of Shaggy Inkcap on the fields immediately to the west of the reserve. Plus a single well away from them on Cadishead Moss

82 Banded Demoiselle 

5 Large Red Damselfly

3 Azure Damselfly

There would easily have been more but here the Custodian of our Countryside  ...as Farmers appear to call themselves had cut a swathe of really rich Dragonfly Habitat in order to 'maintain' the footpath along the Glaze....now a pair of Coach and Horses can now safely race side by side on this 'footpath'....now on my June/July surveys I can look forward to NOT seeing the wonderful sweep of Meadowsweet that have been mown away...but I suppose I can happily admire the Giant Hogweed that got overlooked by this habitat cull....and we wonder why our insect population is crashing....
