This week I’ll be adding some hoverfly lagoons at the plot using old metal tins maybe with a different medium in each of either: compost, grass or sawdust.

Another great citizen science project from the Biological Recording Company. The Screenshot is taken from the presentation.

@Broadfork Hoverfly Lagoon will be either the title of my new children's book series or the name of my shoegaze band. Or both. TBD

@HumToTable It’s a great name for either.

Dr Rotheray is rightly pleased with the name she coined.

@Broadfork hoverflies do a lot of the pollinating for me. They are the first & last pollinator everywhere I go

Two hoverfly lagoons started off. One with compost, one with fresh cut grass.
