We will in due couse see our Ox Eye Daisies and Early Purple and ; common Spotted Orchids Appear. As Cromwell has soils of relatively poor nutrient value we see many Semi Parasitic Plants on the Tag loop like Yellow rattle, Eyebright and others and are fortunate enough to have also see Birds Nest in other Micro habitats As spring tapers off we will see the first generation Toroise and commas become more Raggy and hopefully as Bramble flowers a full compliment of Ringlet and Small Blues which where low in Number last Year. . Studies last year showed that many of the Meadow Browns where fed onto the reserve from the adjacent top meadows . The importance of Bi oActive corridors are vitally important for the migration of species around the reserve none more important that the various tree corridors noteworthy along the rail line that host Purple Hairstreak this applies equally to any plant communities on the reserve Whilst the small section of grassland aside the yard seems of no significant we have a large populations of various Mirids anround and therein notably the common Lepopterna dolobrata see below We have also parts on the reserve amongst Bramble where there are healthy colonies of Neuroptera Green & Blue Lacewings and also High Densities of Longhorn Beetles notable Agapantha
