Still amazed by the wild flower display this year especially considering that in early April (only 3-4 months ago) a lot of the area was bare earth (pic 5). Be good to keep this kind of diversity as a permanent feature of the nature reserve but that will involve regenerating the land to encourage this abundance of seed rich pioneering species- either through ploughing or grazing.

Interesting to see the contrast between April and July - and with the weather, too. It was a darn sight warmer then!
Feels and looks like September now- although all the rain probably part of the reason why so much flowering.
