\"Brimstone
\nMale Brimstone at Chorlton Water Park<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Amazing the difference a bit of sunshine can make. On the insect front plenty of Peacocks, Brimstones, Small Tortoiseshell\u2019s and Orange Tips around with the occasional Comma.The local Blackcaps, Whitethroats and Grasshopper Warblers have arrived to join the Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers that arrived earlier in March. Some of the Swallows are back for the Summer but in common with the Willow Warblers numbers still seem relatively low. Now we\u2019re just awaiting the Swifts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Alder
\nAlder Leaf Beetle at Barlow Moor Tip<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
