Terryland Forest Park Survey 25th May 2013

It was a case of transecting in the rain today. So did not bring out the big guns, but had a small Nikon in my pocket. Normally I would postpone until tomorrow, but I will be in Rinville Park as park of the County Council Biodiversity week. Only two bumblebees recorded today and no butterflies. Still no signs of damselfies or dragonflies. Today because of the damp conditions was a bit of a snail fest with some beautiful colours.
