Wildflower verge along the London Road
New entrance to Beddington Farmlands with planting beds
Bedzed eco-village wildlife garden (Gillian's garden)
The Church grounds (The Grounds Project)
Village centre rain gardens
Silverdale Estate Communal gardens
Volucella bombylans (a new one for me today). A bee-mimic hoverfly
Small Red Damsel (another new one for me)- its a Large Red- so one off! (cheers Steve)
Whatever this looping caterpillar is?- it does a good impression of a stick
Berberis sawfly larvae- infestation in Silverdale which we are treating by beating the bushes, separating out the sawflies from the good insects and then destroying the larvae
Everlasting Peas- out now.
Being doing some bits on our biodiversity projects around town over last couple of days. Here's a few pics. On Thursday we are entering a bid for a major project on some of the larger green spaces in town- all part of creating the most bio-diverse urban district of Greater London. Fingers crossed.
The new entrance to the farmlands is now complete- looks great!

Sorry Pete, your Small Red Damselfly is a Large Red. One quick and easy ID is that Small has red legs, Large has black.
oh gutted! I've had Large red before and this look a lot smaller- must be variable. Cheers Steve
