An excellent trip, despite rainy interludes, to Hangrove bank near Downe with @kentfieldclub.bsky.social Walking in Darwin’s footsteps we saw orchids galore, grasshoppers, bugs and a highlight was seeing a small blue butterfly.

A brilliant AGM this afternoon in Lenham. We heard about reptile monitoring in The Blean, survey of Local Wildlife Sites (we'll be visiting several this year), and work on a new shieldbug atlas for Kent (which we'll be publishing). #naturalhistory #KentNature

Spring is coming fast now. Wood anemones are beginning to flower and the male hairy footed flower bee is buzzing around the flowers.
