The moth trap is getting full - of
Large Yellow Underwings and little else of note. There were 150 of them last night!
A walk round the top lake yesterday revealed a large shoal of
carp, basking in the sunshine.
I have been doing some flower surveys recently and took the opportunity to visit Home Farm where I found several plants new to the campus, albeit temporary weeds of cultivation that may not be around next year -
Fool's Parsley and
Least Yellow Sorrel. Also a few members of the Goosefoot family with the wonderful names of
Good King Henry and
Fat-hen.
