Orchids, hares and a Marsh Warbler

Hello

It seems like the day temperatures have changed as of today and we can expect warmer weather ahead.

Anecdotally the Brown Hares seem to have done well this year with plenty locally including Harrington Airfield where there is also a great display of Common Spotted and Bee Orchids and a good selection of grassland butterflies and day-flying moths when the sun shines.

The most note-worthy bird reported locally is an elusive Marsh Warbler at Stanford Reservoir, but apparently the bird is on the Leicestershire bank!

Regards
