WORK PARTIES
Work parties on Old Down every Thursday morning 10 - 12 noon, meeting at Old Down Hall. We don't mind if it's cold as you soon get warm but unrelenting rain is a different matter. You will be sent a confirmation email the day before if you are on our list of volunteers.
For Old Down enquiries contact old.down.wildlife@gmail.com
Work parties on Beggarwood see website Beggarwood Wildlife Group
Butterflies, like this gatekeeper are most often seen on sunny days in summer.
Kidney vetch is an excellent source of nectar for long tongued bees and is a particularly noted for attracting the Small Blue butterfly.
Harlequin ladybirds and others on tree trunks and twigs. Often seen on gorse and yew.
