Good form Stewart- still getting those Water Carpets!
Welcome back Stewart.
Things are pretty dire at the moment even out in mature woodland.
Cheers chaps.
Matt - Do you not get Water Carpets? Normally very common here throughout April - May but not this year.
Good to see you back on board Stewart
Water Carpet recorded once in 4 years!
