Following another recent ‘cool’ spell our Grass Snakes haven’t been
seen since the first record on the 14th March. However the warm
sunshine today brought Skipwith to life - two Grass Snakes, two Adders and
nine Common Lizards were seen on the Common, along with the first Orange Tips
of the year and six Peacock butterflies. The first Common Carder Bees were also
noted around the Gorse, while an emergence of Green Tiger Beetles flew over the
heather. Woodlarks, Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs sang from the Silver Birch
trees, whilst Green Woodpeckers ‘yaffled’ their way over the heath and a pair
of Tawny Owls called to each other.
