On the search for subt

Dear all

We had Rosemary Read and Barry Donovan from Plant and Food come down yesterday to put out a further 50 polysterene traps for subt to nest. So far we have put out 40 wooden boxes. Very few flowers are currently out a little bit of echium and a bit of lotus. Seen a great number of terrestius and ruderatus but no subt yet. We are still early for them. Terrestius have only just started to nest and have not yet begun collecting pollen. So at the moment we are searching potential field sites and getting ready for subt release!

Till next time...
