Hornets! Hornets!

 Another solo morning maintaining the recently planted hedge along Old Mount Road. Almost stood in a ground wasp nest (quite like regular wasps, but smaller and live in a nest i the ground).

Butterfly

Geoff, hungry caterpillar

 Back to Wholestone for more stick and guard removal/retrieval.

Attendees were Geoff, Tanya, Ben, Steve G., Jack, Dave, and Dianne.

Geoff and Tanya took photos, but seemed very obsessed with flora and fauna this week.

I am on a bit of a Herbie Hancock jag lately, so that's what you are getting to listen to. Technically the oak eggar (above) becomes a moth. But there isn't a Herbie Hancock tune about moths.

Sun touch

Geoff and Peter

Today we were myself (Geoff), Tanya, Peter, Jess, Dianne, Philip, Philip (Baxter), Steve G., Dave and Michael.

We made very good progress removing guards and salvaging short stakes in the top section at Wholestone Moor. The long hawthorn hedge that borders the site has grown exceptionally well in places and is now in full bloom, quite a sight/site to behold. The weather was gorgeous, as was teh pint of Linfit 'Cascade' at the Sair afterwards.

More great photos by Tanya
