Redgate Hill
An afternoon walk up and down Redgate Hill, including the scrub to the west, produced 61 species of plants in flower. This gave me a number new for the year including 8 new for the patch i.e. Sheep's Sorrel, Spotted Medick, Beaked Hawksbeard, Bladder Campion, Soft Brome, Barren Brome, Smooth Meadow-grass and Great Horsetail. There were lots of Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock among the nettles in the scrub and bumblebees (Red-tailed, Buff-tailed, Common Carder and Tree) were busy visiting the flowers. It was good to see the Yellow Meadow ants busy in their "hills" in the scrub area.
