I had a quick blast up to the allotment as I need to start
making some progress on getting my polytunnel up. While I was there I saw;
long-tailed tits, a robin, pigeons, magpies, and gulls. I heard the woodpecker and
also saw blue tits, and either dunnocks or sparrows. I also saw my first
peacock butterfly of the year looking gloriously new and fresh, an adult wasp
(chilling out in my solitary bee house!), a dark edged bee-fly, some millipedes, a juvenile frog and black beetles!
I’m always very happy and excited when I see little beasties
on my plot – it’s good to know that the habitat is there for them and that they
are around. I usually get little grass hoppers in the summer so I always leave
them some long grass, and my solitary bee house was being used by leafcutter
bees last year so I hope to see them emerge this year.
