16th July 2025 - a few ANW members visited Trumpington Meadows, principally to look at the butterflies in the wildflower meadows there. Whilst the weather started a little overcast and windy, the sun did eventually come out, bringing with it the butterflies! Inevitably the group also managed to spot a few bird, dragonfly and moth species too.
