Hi everyone, now is a great time to get out and about and see Odiham Common at its best. There are lots of water avens out in the southern meadows near the canal and large numbers of flowers coming out throughout the meadows.
Some areas of srub were removed last winter to take the meadows back to their original extents and increase the native grassland habitat. The regrowth of scrub in these areas will be cut and treated over the next few weeks.
Once we have had some rain there should be an explosion of butterflys and flowers with the forester moth apearing any time from now on until the end of June. These day flying emerald green moths are well worth hunting out as they are so beutiful. Look for them on pink or purple flowers such as ragged robin and knap weed.
For more information on the Common see the Odiham Common web page at www.hart.gov.uk in the leisure section.
