I just got this rather nice video of a heron from the wild life camera. There is still water in the ponds, despite the drought, so they are a magnet for wildlife

For the last few years I have been coppicing a blackthorn (sloe) hedge to make it better for Brown Hairstreak butterflies to colonise. I have now obtained a batch of Brown Hairstreak ova from an enthusiast who breeds them. The ova have been sleeved onto blackthorn branches as shown in the pictures,
Brown Hairstreaks have been spreading into the area (there are colonies near Stratford). I'm hoping that this will give them a head start here at Broadacre.
