Plenty of butterflies in the area around the car park at Rudd Lane and around the Reservoir this morning. Lots of thistles in flower and a few Ragwort.
It's a shame to have lost the insect habitat in the wild flora and grasses on the Reservoir embankment but there are probably good reasons for YW having had the grass cut.
Guesstimates in numbers !
