 10.30 - 11.40. Seen on a walk along the old drove between Barford St Martin and the western end of Grovely wood. Ivy growing in the old hedgerows is beginning to attract bees but not yet butterflies - good numbers of small whites seen mostly in the scrubby areas where there are still plenty of flowering plants to nectar on.
