Life in a Southern Forest

Mid Spring survey

Well, hardly a survey. Not methodical, and certainly not complete.
Simply a sample of the latest forest life to capture our attention.
I hope the images convey the activity, colour and some of the diversity (at least of the insect life).
As always, we tend to favour the invertebrates. We continue to neglect the birds, and mammals don’t even get a look in. Insects and spiders are just too interesting! And orchids too, of course.
