This week we have been doing some “weeding” at both the heather patches at North’s Seat, removing bramble and cutting gorse to encourage the heather to spread. We were lucky enough to see some of the smaller wildlife too. First was a gorse shield bug and here is Sam’s photo.
We finished the main part of the first block and moved to an area about 10ft diameter and about the same distance away and saw a common lizard, then another, then another……
I managed to get this picture of not one but two juveniles which I was pleased about.
Plenty of invertebrates, beyond my id skills in the field and a peacock butterfly.
