Two photos from Rod sent in telling us:
In the Spring of this year we decided to convert a patch of gravel in our Mudeford front garden to a wild flower patch, sown with a dry sandy loam seed mixture and some cornfield annuals. So far we have seen several varieties of bees but today, 16/07/2024 we saw our first butterfly visitor – an Essex Skipper.
