2nd July 2013 ... Le Shark

The all night heavy rain that the Met forecast gave missed Biggleswade, apart from a shower  that dampened the floor level egg boxes in the traps.
Conditions were warm and humid and the medium monsoon that was blowing earlier in the evening died down to a gusty breeze, perfect conditions for The Dells town garden, which always seems to benefit from a light/medium wind, especially from a South or south-west direction, I then get the "blow-ins" that come across from the nearby railway line with its natural valley of grassy banks, native shrubs/wildflowers and copses.
The Emeralds have made a show with Common, Small and a Light Emerald which is unrelated.
Chamomile Shark was a good earlier record, and now its close relative The Shark can join it on the garden year list .....
