May in Clavering has been glorious - more cowslips than I can ever remember - I gave up counting after reaching 2,000 heads of cowslip (or pegle) flowers on Hill Green. On Stickling Green the chalkland flowers are doing well with lots of salad burnet for instance - we have been counting Scarlet Malachite Beetles again and there seem fewer than last year. In Dick Ball Meadow a muntjac has somehow ended up dead in the stream, but the flowers are looking lovely and it is full of wildlife. I will try to post some photos if I can.
On another subject, at the annual parish meeting, the community unanimously supported a proposal by the Countryside Group to start a Nature Trail project in Clavering so we will be working on this over the next year or two.
