1000 for 1KSQ

The last week and a bit has been quite productive in TM0025. I have had time both to get out and about, and to spend time with identifications. But I’m sure that the good times won’t last, so I must make the most of it.

Sadly, I have concluded that I will not be hearing the call of the cuckoo in the square this year. It was one of the treats of years gone by, especially appreciated because we are so close to the town centre. Also, I fear that the Grey wagtails have abandoned the square for a site further down the river.

There are various lichens with which I am struggling, but I hope to return to them in due course. Also, here is a caddisfly that has me baffled. I suspect that I won’t get anywhere with it, but please let me know if you have any idea.
