Another area of the land now set aside for re-wilding. This field had been cut just to look "tidy" as it is our "back-yard" and we were going to make use of it. But now we find we really don't need that space and nature needs it more than we do. So from now on it will be allowed to grow wild, apart from a winding path which will enable us to enjoy walking through the grasses and seeing the butterflies, moths and bees that we hope to encourage.

| Re-wilding in progress |
And now the final two Horse Chestnut trees grown from conkers have also been planted on the edge of the latest "re-wilding" meadow. TLC needed to make sure they survive!
Another area now set aside for grasses and wild flowers to grow.

| Letting nature take it's course wherever we can |
We are keeping areas of nettles for the butterflies, moths and insects, which will in turn help the birds and other wildlife.

I found this beauty today amongst the grasses and am reliably informed it is a Ghost Moth, a female as it is yellow and orange. https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/hepialus-humuli/female-4/
