I saw a male Small Skipper butterfly in/near the wet meadow yesterday, buzzing from sunny patches where it was basking to the still flowering patch of Birds foot trefoil where it was feeding. Since this is a species which is supposed to be quite restricted to hisorical sites (I think) while not being particulaly rare, it was quite a surprise to see one. I will keep my eyes open for a female, and will leave some patches of longer grass for them to breed in. Picture in the Animals Photo Album

Creating the meadow
- This is a record of the first part of the project, between March and September 2005 when we did the groundwork for the meadow. Most of the relevant details about the process are included in the comments for each photo so I haven't repeated it elsewhere.
Some excellent places to visit
