Wildlife in April

Brimstone butterflies.

 Tadpole.

 A young rabbit, exploring near our yurt.  There are so many rabbits here, they startle easily and scuttle away from us through the undergrowth. They also eat our plants, my chives have disappeared and so have some strawberry plants.  We need to think about making our raised beds higher!

 We've also had to remove the start of another wasp net from the yurt.  This time it was inside the wooden box which houses our solar panel battery.  We feel awful taking down such a an amazing little home, one the wasp has spent so much time and energy building, but we can't risk having a wasps nest indoors, they are quite a big problem here in the summer time.

 The Adder.  We see these daily now, the bask in the sunshine by our log pile, Mia Tarka and Willow are fascinated by them and run excitedly to tell ,me each time they spot one.

 Sloe Bug.

 A Maybug

 A Bee Fly.  Such an amazingly long probiscus and spindly legs.

 The robin nesting in the shower cubicle.

 And an enormous spider in the campsite compost toilet.
