The Pits

Out to Branton Pits this morning with John doing the WeBs count. All was generally quiet but Common Sandpiper and Little Ringed Plover were noteworthy. My first damselflies of the year were on the wing at Hedgely with -

Other than that and a few moths for the moth blog, that was it really...

I like the new look of the blog. I must remember to get your permission to use your photo next time I'm doing some health promotion at work. By the way Hedgely gravel pits has some good plants in the scarce plant report of VC68. Many have been planted but worth looking out for.
