It’s that time of year again!
With cuckooflowers in the meadows, cuckoo spit on the leaves – and maybe even a few cuckoos calling in the trees!
The BBOWT team once again trekked out to their beautiful Iffley Meadows reserve on the banks of the Thames to carry out their annual snake’s-head fritillary count – and they were delighted with the results!
The team of professional and amateur ecologists from BBOWT tallied up a whopping 43,349 snake’s-head fritillaries at the Trust’s Iffley Meadows nature reserve on Tuesday (April 18).
This compares to just 500 flowers on site when BBOWT started managing the rare floodplain meadow habitat off Donnington Bridge Road in 1983.
It is back!
