Coton Reserve

Coton Nature Reserve

 Coton Countryside Reserve can be visited 365 days of the year. Entry is free of charge. Opening hours are dawn until dusk. There are miles of paths for visitors to enjoy the countryside, including a walk up to Red Meadow Hill. There are no toilet facilities at the Reserve. The reserve is part of a working farm,  and some fields contain animals.  It was hot and sunny and many insects were active.

Insects at Paxton Pits

Little Paxton Pits is a 127.4-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Little Paxton in Cambridgeshire. Part of it is also a 60 hectare Local Nature Reserve. These flooded former gravel pits are of national importance for wintering wildfowl, especially gadwalls.

Today I concentrated on insects.
