More early flowering plants and a late butterfly

Posted on January 10, 2016 by John Gardner

Roger’s previous post reminded me that on December 28th 2015, the mild weather brought a small tortoiseshell out of hibernation  and it was seen flying around on the site of Nostell Long Row. On December 29th, a Walk around Nostell Priory revealed dandelion, dasiy and white dead nettle all in flower along with many hazel cactus! What a mild end to the year!
