Warmer weather has been good for some of the UK’s flora and fauna, while others have suffered or almost disappeared completely. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/dec/28/haywire-seasons-lead-to-freak-year-for-nature-says-national-trust |

I heard something about that on the radio the other day. I had to laugh as they were saying that the Purple Emperor had had its' earliest ever sighting at Bookham Common. I've been there many a time as it is supposed to be easy to spot them as they often come down to ground and settle on cars in the car park but I have yet to see them there Thanks for the link

Grayling.A lot of what is occurring could be down to local populations, which we know can vary from year to year but it will be interesting to see how it stands some 12-24 months from now. |
