In my previous posting I said I may go away for a short time. This however did not materialise due to my straining my back clearing up after our house improvements. I was able to get out a litte. Lots of spring flowers coming into bloom such as Greater Stitchwort, Garlic Mustard (pictured) lots more Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage and Moschatel.
Next day I went to the trail camera to change the batteries and check what, if anything had been photographed. On the way I noted this deer slot. It is from a roe deer.
When I checked the SD card later I was thrilled to see our hedgehogs have started to return regularly to our feeders. We do get some woodmice, lots of magpies and the roe deer themselves.
That night I put the moth trap out again and while I was out I used my bat detyector to see if tey had also returned. As you may see from the next photo, the answer is YES.
These are Noctule Bats, our largest and earliest to emerge, often before sunset,
The following morning I had caught more Hebrew Character moths plus Twin Spotted Quaker and Small Quaker
My Back is starting to ease now so I hope to get out and discover more of how Spring is progressing.
