Cow Parsley Carnage

Naughty Fat little Mayfly has been attempting to eat her way through all of the Cow Parsley in the whole of Hertfordshire!

We went for a hysterical hack with a friend on a bike at the weekend, during which I managed to get some lovely snapshots of me and the glorious Fly to add to my collection (just a shame it wasn't a bit sunnier for them!) Got one in the Rape field, bluebells and going through the stream bit :) Went for a hack today through the new gate a crossing that has been put in, meaning that we can now miss out a lot of the wet muddy part of the track. It is very pleasing, although Mayfly was not too sure about it to begin with and had to do a routine check in case it was going to eat her or something! ahaa.

Once we managed to venture out of the land the scoffing began. Every dingle bit of cow parsley we passed had to make it's way into Mayfly's mouth somehow. Eventually I had to stretch down (at the same time as holding her back as of course she was not going to miss a chance to run) at attempt to take of her flash, it was far from easy but I managed it and she was very content that she could now fit more yummy stuff into her mouth!
