Azure Damselfly.
Tony's Photographs.
There were 23 of us game balsam pullers out to start the season! The East Yar valley in Adgestone looks beautiful and plenty of cyclists were out enjoying the cycle path and enquiring as to what we were doing. We were removing the non native Himalayan Balsam plant we'd say, and then engage in a bit more detail. These plants dominate the habitat to the very great detriment of our native flora, and indeed it is thought affect the Water Voles too as they enhance the rate of erosion along the river when the bare banks are exposed during the winter months.
Many thanks to Tony and Mark for taking the photographs ant to Mark for the editorial.
