I have played on each of the courses over the last few days. All are looking good, particularly with the heather in full bloom on the Green and Red course.

A few more trees fruiting, including this crab apple at the back of the 6th Green.

| Crab Apple Malus sylvestris [6th Green] |
There are lots of Black-headed Gulls on the fairways at the moment - earthworms are an important food source for them, hence their attraction to the short grass. Earlier in the week there were large numbers of gulls above the reservoir feeding on a flock of flying ants that had taken to flight in the hot weather.

| Black-headed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls [Reservoir] |
Butterflies and dragonflies are still around in good numbers. There were a couple of Brimstone butterflies on the Doghouse range earlier in the week and plenty of Common Darters.
