Sometimes I wish this forum had a "like" button.

That would be a good innovation.

There's a short video at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30559133

Wow. They're literally dripping from the trees.

As an aside, clicking that link took me to a site which detailed the reintroduction of Large Heaths to Heysham Moss, which is something I'd hitherto not known about:

The Large Heath is on my list David , so Heysham is on my list for next year, thanks for the info Goldie

I'll look forward to reading about it, Goldie.

Nice to know at least one rare UK species is expanding!

I saw a local T.V news report on this whilst I was up at Arnside earlier in the year which prompted me to have a look at Meathop Moss which was closer to where we were staying. Glad I did as I found some nice fresh large Heaths which made a nice bonus just before we started out for home.

Cheers,

Neil.
