We have agreed to run the Butterfly Transect in Lesnes Abbey Park/Woods

In addition to looking for Butterflies, we will be able to keep an eye on the Wild Flowers!

And we will maintain a Wild Flower List. Hopefully we will re-find the Yellow Pimpernel, last seen a few years ago.

Wild Flower' Species seen so far during 2020 include

Alexanders
Biting Stonecrop
Black Medick
Black Spleenwort
Common Chickweed
Common Field-Speedwell
Greater Stitchwort
Ivy-Leaved Toadflax
Lesser Celandine
Lords-and-Ladies (both Arum Maculatum and Arum Italicum)
Maidenhair Spleenwort
Red Campion
Red Dead-Nettle
Rue-Leaved Saxifrage
Wall-Rue
White Dead-Nettle
White Stonecrop
Wild Clary
Wild Daffodil (assumed)
and Yarrow

We will be running the Transect every two weeks, probably starting some time in March.

With regard to Butterflies, in addition to Lesnes Abbey Park/Woods, we will be focusing our attention during 2020 on Bostall Heath (the Royal Borough of Greenwich), (the) East Wickham Open Space, the Holly Hilly Open Space and beside the Upper Bedon Stream.
