The cattle were taken out of GF2 a couple of months ago, this has allowed the vegetation in the pond to grow without being grazed off, as a result the pond and "slack" area will be at their best in a week or so, Southern Marsh Orchids are already coming into bloom, with the shoots of Lesser Spearwort providing resting places for the Broad bodied Chasers.

With many of the summer flowers on show the accompanying butterflies are out in force with 10's of Small and Common Blues on the wing.

Now that the kids are back in school and there is a quieter feel to the reserve get out and explore..
It has certainly been a busy half term I'll let the photo below speak for itself, (the used bbq's had aleady been moved off their original position, hence the burn marks however they were still hot when I got to them so we ended up with FOUR scorched areas of grass!!!)
