Many a 'slip! Bio-blitz at Hemblington

Four times a year a group comprising some 'Friends of Hemblington Church' undertake a bio-blitz in the churchyard: today was the year's first, carried out by Linda, Sue, Peter, Joyce, Tricia and myself.

Despite the cool, blustery wind we had quite a good 'haul': just three species of butterfly, but ten species of bee, sixteen birds, and some excellent and unusual wildflowers.

There can't be that many sites where you can find Cowslip, Oxlip, False Oxlip (a hybrid of the two!) and Primrose growing in one small area. There were also some Meadow Saxifrage and Pig Nut plants, among others!
