  10. That's what it said at the bottom of the listing Yes
  11. Red Admirals I have found them what i thought was hibernating in the school bolierhouse in sept. only trouble is when the boilers kick in in Oct it wakes them up and they seem to die,more info below from google. The Red Admiral is a frequent visitor to gardens throughout the British Isles and one of our most well-known butterflies. This butterfly is unmistakable, with the velvety black wings intersected by striking red bands. This butterfly is primarily a migrant to our shores, although sightings of individuals and immature stages in the first few months of the year, especially in the south of England, mean that this butterfly is now considered resident. This resident population is considered to only be a small fraction of the population seen in the British Isles, which gets topped up every year with migrants arriving in May and June that originate in central Europe. Unfortunately, most individuals are unable to survive our winter, especially in the cooler regions of the British Isles. The number of adults seen in any one year is therefore dependent on the number of migrants reaching the British Isles and numbers fluctuate as a result. In some years this butterfly can be widespread and common, in others rather local and scarce. This is a widespread species and can be found anywhere in the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland.

  21. Whilst driving along the coast in menorca i caught a glimpse of turquoise through a hole in the hedge as we were going to Binibeca and stopped immediatley the first photo is what we saw, need less to say we went for a swim as there was no one around at all. The rest are from visits to the Lizard in cornwall where we saw loads of Choughs ,the last one is kynance cove where there were hundreds of people just waiting for the tide to go out so they could get onto the beach you can see emerging from the sea.
  22. Yes loads of tortoises ,this year seen 2 different snakes( non are poisenous) loads of lizards hoopoo's large birds of prey circling may be buzzards not sure.watched a cormorant chasing fish in a little inlet and we could see the fish scattering . There is a cycle / walk trail all the way around the island 155 km called the Cami De Cavall and this is where we do most of the walking,here is a photo of the bay we stayed at Alcuafar very quiet one hotel on the beach and a taverna other side of village.
  23. Every Spring bank holiday we go to Menorca ,it is a beautiful island with a protected environment policy, hear are 2 photos of the same field one taken after they had had quite alot of rain in march april(2014) the other (this year) when it has been drier. The difference is stunning there were wild flowers covering the fields for miles and butterflies moths and thousands of caterpillars making the most of the conditions. We go walking looking at the wildlife especially the tortoises (which my wife is mad about) ,always find some but this year we had a thunder storm one afternoon so we got in the car and went for a drive whilst it was still raining,we called into a little coastal village and as it was only dizzling went for a walk .Within 1 hour we found 42 torts. which because it had rained came out to get a drink as they have to make the most of any water they find. I didn't take the camera as it was unplanned ,she had her phone so have got some shots ( i will add some later she is out at the moment) We learnt alot about how they survive and it is quite rocky ground and found a hollow in the rocks that had filled with rain water and saw 3 torts heading and drinking in that spot,there was also a shaded area next to a abandoned barn that had quite a bit a spagnam type moss that had soaked up the water and 5 tortoises in that area appeared to be eating the moss but we realised they were just squeazing it in their mouth to exract the water.
  24. i dont suppose the writers had heard this first
