Black Oil Beetles appeared in various parts of the Country on Sunday to start their mating frenzy. Such is the wonder of nature, they don't need social media to start the process!

Not quick enough to get a snap but I saw my first 2022 butterfly yesterday - a Brimstone They're nearly always the first to be seen around this part of north Hampshire - as soon as you get a vaguely spring day. They're difficult to capture on phone/camera as they never seem to alight for any length of time but there are a few sunny days coming up later this week so Ill try and capture one.
I dont think this species is very common in Lancs but a good photo and some info here https://butterfly-conservation.org/news ... utterflies

Noticed frogspawn in my pond yesterday too. I used to hear them mating prior to the spawn appearing (quite a noisy commotion) but I'm too deaf nowadays to hear that harbinger of spring.

What’s wrong with this photo?

Yes, deserted on a beautiful spring day, no narrow boats, pub closed for several years, typical Burnley, can’t sort out one of it’s most attractive assets.

About time the Council and the Canal and River Trust got together and developed this interesting and potentially beautiful area of town.

I thought the weavers triangle was still open maybe not visited that often because the appeal isn’t there.

This place would make a fantastic location for a micro brewery and an attached taproom, I would absolutely love that to happen

Posted: **Wed Mar 23, 2022 4:58 pm**

I think the pub (The Inn on the Wharf) is owned by The Greene King Brewery, so maybe Burnley Council need to put a little bit more pressure on them to either sell the pub or put it up for rent/lease at a reasonable rate.
