Dear All,
Apologies if you have already received this message, possibly more than once!
I originally sent it on Monday evening only to receive a rejection notice to the effect that some or all of the recipients may not have received the email.
I have been trying progressively to re-send and each time with the same response. It has been a problem with TalkTalk which I have been trying to resolve.
All appears to be in order now so trying again, - fingers crossed!!
Here we are again with a few more sightings from members but before we start can we please try and encourage some more responses from you with regard to our two open garden dates and the Zoom talks kindly offered by our President.
Thank you to those who have replied but as a reminder, our garden is open this Saturday afternoon 24th July and then Joan and Bernard’s on Sunday 29th August both for two hours from 2.30pm. Then as mentioned above and as an impetus to keep the Society alive, our President Dr Pat Morris has offered to give a series of talks via Zoom. We need more members to participate in order to make it a worthwhile exercise for Dr Pat.
Moving on, the Middleton’s have come up trumps again with more from their one year old garden pond:
“Despite our pond being only 1 year old, the dragonflies are emerging.
Best regards, Ian & Viv”
Dragonfly Larva
Then more from Chris Rose:
“Hija, The Graylings were on the wing this late afternoon at Eversley Common. Still very hot, 28 degrees at 4pm!!! (Saturday 17th) Later this evening had this visitor to the garden.
This bug on the Knapweed, is it beetle? Chris” The beetle is a ‘Black and Yellow Longhorn’
Grayling butterfly

Then a few from me:
