Call in anytime between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 13th July to visit the wildlife pond and meadow, near Gid Lane, Upper Froyle. There should be plenty to see especially if it’s a sunny day.
Members of Froyle Wildlife will be on hand to assist with identification of wildflowers, dragonflies and butterflies. Wildflower species to look out for include; knapweed, lady’s bedstraw, sainfoin, self heal, purple loosestrife, water figwort and bird’s-foot trefoil. Last year on the ‘drop-in’- day 17 species of butterfly were noted including Small Copper, Brown Argus, Small Tortioseshell and Painted Lady. Other creatures seen included Dark Bush-cricket, Roesel’s Bush- cricket, 14-spot Ladybird, Tawny Longhorn beetles and Dock Bug. No need to book, anyone can just pop in and see what you can spot.
