The summer temperatures are so hot and the ground is cracking and yesterday I noticed that even the stinging nettles were dying back on the road verges , going the same way and colouration as the grass.
The insects have been amazing so far this year and I think that I have definitely had more dead remains on the car windscreen ( I read a report last year that said that windscreens were clearer and that there was a concern over the drop in insect numbers)
Nature table number five has been swirling around in my head and I want it to be a table that reflects the summer.Nature table number four was full of fossils from Aust . Number five will be a summer meadow.
