While walking about I noted large numbers of grasshoppers, which stridulated when the sun came out. The pond was a hive of activity and I saw frogs and toads resting in the water and large numbers of smooth newts basking in the warm water, up to 12 at one time. There are numerous nesting webs for spiders. The wild carrots are starting to flower and the ladies bedstraw is just about to bloom, for the first time since we started the meadow. Clearly cutting it all now would be a shame. I will leave along with the pond.

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
