Generally good forecast up to and during the Easter Holidays, at least dry with some sunny spells, temperatures expected to hit the high teens with moderately light winds. The bright clear skies will mean widespread grass frosts over the next couple of nights/mornings. I'm hoping to check out the
Marsh Fritillary larvae at
Aberbargoed Grasslands, South Wales either tomorrow or Wednesday and hope the frost doesn't put them 'low', I'm rather partial to accommodating cats
Its more like early May here in South Wales than mid April...
blooming marvelous weather

Only matter for concern is the kids are on school hols and the grasslands are currently very dry and vunerable to fire, we've had some heartbreaking grass fires at critical times in the past, we can only hope that this type of environmental vandalism is a thing of the past, but it won't be for lack of trying to get the 'environmental message' into the local schools and communities, we shall stay positive and hope for another successful year...but we also know
Marsh Fritillary can be fickle critters with or without negative human interference!!!
