We spotted six grayling on the edge of Sutton Heath. Their camouflage blended well with the dead bracken and the heather.

Last year we were prompted by the Suffolk Wildlife Summit to commit ourselves to make some changes for the benefit of wildlife. We decided to let some of the grass in the garden grow and see if it would encourage more insects. Today we were rewarded with a Brown Argus that very obligingly stayed in one section of the lawn.
