St Mary's Fields

01/08/2004

July Summary

Most exciting record was the visit of a family of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers on July 4th. This species has become rare, and it was good to see an adult and two young that clearly must have bred somewhere in or near St Mary’s Fields.

A study of plant life revealed two new species : a single Pyramid Orchid and a Horse Chestnut tree. The latter has obviously been here some time, demonstrating how we need to record plant life more carefully.

On a visit on June 20th Janet Frost noted the following butterflies:

Common Blue 1 Essex Skipper 1
Gatekeeper 15 Green Veined White 3
Large Skipper 1 Meadow Brown 17
Red Admiral 1 Ringlet 5
Small White 1 Speckled Wood 3

Look out for Peacocks, Comma and  Brimstones in August
