Well done Andy, you must have some great habitat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. Indeed, Shotesham Common is proving extremely diverse. But then again, a lot of species I'm finding are just along bog-standard verges too. There's lots of nice Roadside Nature Reserves in this part of South Norfolk, but none of those are in my square. Neighbouring squares have verges stiff with Sulphur Clover, but not a sniff of it here!
