Tuesday 14th November is our next task day where we will meet up again at Shutes Farmhouse, far end of Underhill Lane for 9:30. We are excited because this year we have already found one Brown Hairstreak egg, unlike the last two years. There will be an egg hunt, weather permitting, shortly, when we hope we might find more of these eggs. The task for the day is to cutdown an old Blackthorn tree which is tangled in bramble. Not an easy task, but with snips here and there it will yield. This butterfly, which we want to encourage, prefers young new blackthorn shoots for its eggs. So this work is important. We hope to burn whatever is cut down.
