With the arrival of the warm sunny weather, butterflies are now being seen flitting around the reserve. Otmoor's a great place for seeing a range of species and already this year, comma, peacock, red admiral, orange tip, brimstone and small white have been recorded. Grass snakes are being regularly seen basking in the sunshine and the frogs are still croaking away in the ditches. Breeding lapwing and redshank numbers are building and the spring migrants continue to arrive on the reserve; little-ringed plover, willow warbler and swallow being the newest arrivals. If you're walking past Big Otmoor see if you can pick out the escaped snow goose or the unusual looking greylag/Canada goose hybrid.
