Of course I ...Interesting as ever Pete....Thanks. <br /><br />Of course I should be calling in on the culprits to ask why there's no-one in the department who should know better than to activate these mowing operations at inappropriate times.

If you feel strongly about this Pete, my suggestion is to gather a few of you together to rake the arisings off the key sections(s) for butterflies, dump them at the bottom of the slope and then shove a few yellow rattle seeds in - yes I know its later than recommended (about a fiver on-line). I've been sorting out a flower-rich verge/meadow area this autumn and the problem has been it is too warm and the grass keeps growing (but plenty of yellow rattle in to keep it in check)!
