Swift half news - 1st June 2010

• A dank, grey, drizzly, cool start to June - but the promise of very nice weather by thursday this week and well into the weekend - so the first honeysuckle flowers out in the garden have timed things very well!
• Loads of elderflowers too now - so Anna and I will be making bottles of champagne and cordial if sometime this week.
• A very good night for moths last night (despite running the gauntlet of two cats sitting by the trap, eating the odd moth that flew by) with three "Silver Y" moths and a number of Heart and Darts (plus a few Willow Beauties).
