Which is also exactly the same mix as I was getting in early March.

Does promise to get warmer in the next week.

I think we need several warm days here to get things moving on the cold claylands.

So saw just 5 species, the only new one for the year being D.

Albeit nothing exiting it does mean spring is here at last. My look at the forecast suggested Monday may be a good night to try but you have encouraged me to try earlier.
