The Wetland Duo, Guy Hart and David Armitage plus David’s partner Lyn, were hard at work recently removing the highly invasive plant, Water Soldier, from the lake at Greenstreete. It has proliferated so much over the summer that they weren’t able to remove all of it but arrangements are in progress for volunteers to continue the work.

While at Greenstreete Guy was lucky to spot a gorgeous Hummingbird Hawk-moth feasting on the Buddleia near the flexible space.

This is what one looks like:
