A group of 18 Club members and others met up at Great Bells Farm to search for rare bees and other fauna and flora with @nikkigammans and @Buzzing Coast from Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

Field Club members returned to Bingley Island in Westgate Parks once again on 5th August. 

A small group of Field Club members braved the summer heat to visit this diverse area of urban parkland on the 14th July. 

Field Club members visited this privately owned reserve on 8^th July to help provide baseline data as management begins.

A small group came out for this site in Sheppey on 24^th June. It is a planted woodland and amenity land adjacent to a housing estate. The large pond was nearly dry due to the heatwave, but provided an interesting location to observe courtship behaviour of some long-legged flies. Beyond the trees, the site changes into scrubland and some patches of meadow, in which we spotted a few orchids, various bumblebee species and numerous Cinnabar moths!
