Low Moor Sites 20.06.2023
Today’s visit ranks as one of the wettest of BEES outings. The rain was incessant (quote John) but with umbrellas deployed we progressed through the lush wet vegetation outnumbering the animal species I remember seeing. It was six years to the day (20 th June 2017) since we had last made a combined visit to all three sites at Low Moor. We were delighted that Martyn Priestly, warden of the sites, was able to join us and Sally relinquished the role of walk leader to him. Martyn briefly explained the historical background to the sites and pointed out changes and concerns at the sites. When moths did appear, he was quick to alert us to their presence. Not even a waterproof notebook could cope with the rain but from memory a list of plants in flower has totalled over ninety species seen across the three sites. Undoubtedly many more were present.
