Apparently I have been neglecting my Blog! So here is a quick update for May. As many of you already know, I started my new Job at Llandegfedd at the start of May and have been pretty busy as a result. The Job is going great! and it's so good to be close to home and recording wildlife sightings on my patch again. Today was a perfect example of how great it is working on your birding patch as I came across my first Hummingbird Hawkmoth! Not the best photograph as it disappeared just as quick as it appeared alongside a stream feeding on Red Campions. While we're on the flower subject, I've been keeping an eye on the wild flower meadows at Llandegfedd this year as I have some Orchid tours todo in work in June. So far we have a decent show of both Common Spotted Orchid and Southern Marsh Orchid with the meadows being covered in Yellow Rattle and Bird's foot Trefoil. Hopefully this year we'll get a good show of Butterflies but so far the Dragonflies are really showing well, especially the Beautiful Demoiselles at Sor Brook.
