Friday March 5th 2010 : During a work party at The Backwarden EWT Reserve, Danbury today we recorded five Adders sunning themselves on a favoured bank; four females and a male. This is two weeks later than in 2009 and a month overdue compared with 2007 and 2008 but a welcome sign of spring nontheless. No sign of any bees or butterflies yet, though.
