More April Showers

My return to the ancient woodland had to be delayed due to the bad weather.

It had been cold and rainy most of the day. Eventually though the rain stopped and we had a very pleasant late afternoon.

With the cold weather and several nights with ground frost I hope that not too many insects have fallen victim to the cold.

I ventured outside in the evening sun to go and visit the dock beetle corner in one of the grazing fields nearby. I was pleased to see that the dock beetles had increased in numbers despite the frost and were busy to continue the life cycle.



All the grazing fields are sourrounded by stonewalls with the occasional big tree, an ideal environment for moss and lichen to grow.






Rain makes for interesting photography if one looks closely.




Perhaps I get a chance to go to that timeless woodland again on Monday.
