Orchid and Stoat update!

First of all - Stu the Stoat (or some relative) is back. I saw a flash of something moving fast and rushed to the binos. In the field Stu took a rabbit - it was all a bit gruesome but that's Stoats for you. I wonder whether it is living under the shed; there is a well-used burrow there. Meranwhile the Orchid count has reached 127. On the same day last year it was 72 and the yeqar before 51. I am not reading too much into it - it could just be that the season is a little earlier.
