MAMMATUS MONDAY

As the weather forecast for Tuesday was awful I went to the Hoe on monday,"it will be warm and sunny"said Carol,and so it was for about half an hour,then the clouds rolled in from France and it rained for the rest of the day,only drizzle admittedly but enough to keep the butterfly transect off the menu.Tuesday said Carol would be torrential rain up to 50mm we would all drown!did we? no we had a couple of heavy showers for about 5 minutes in the morning and that was it,the wonders of modern technology.
Mondays clouds were most impressive and should have brought storms and a deluge but didn`t.
MAMMATUS CLOUDS OVER THE CHANNEL
. Before the cloud cover arrived this female common blue was seen sunning itself on the sheep grazed bank.
COMMON BLUE female,
The first wasp spider I have seen this year was also located in the longer grass.It was a bit low down and quite dark by now so am hopeful of better images soon.
