text: Volunteers have been busy undertaking surveys of butterflies, moths and flowers over the past two days as well as working hard to improve the habitats here at Foxglove. Yesterday John completed his butterfly walk, finding 12 species including Painted Lady and Dark Green Fritillary, as well as good numbers of Green Veined White and Peacock - seen here feeding on Hemp Agrimony.
  As usual the moth trap was set last night; fewer were seen this morning than last week, most likely as the conditions were cooler and less humid. Still an impressive 41 species were trapped including Mother of Pearl, Scalloped Oak and Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing which made its first appearance in the trap this year.
  Finally the monthly flower survey was carried out this morning with eight volunteers helping to identify the 107 species of flower found. They returned to the centre rather excitedly having found Pepper Saxifrage and Saw-wort in new areas of the reserve!
  Thank you to everyone who has spent time over the past few days helping us to survey and identify the many different types of wildlife on the reserve.
  YESTERDAY I went onto the US Holocaust Museum site and looked at their photos. The first photo that came up under the search word GAS CHAMBER was a door to a gas chamber in Auschwitz where the sign on the door says Harmful gas, entering endangers your life.
  Note however the disclaimer which they display prominently on their front page, perhaps as a result of the hoots of disbelief from Revisionists:-

  THIS correspondent has produced a CD-Rom with thousands of first-class photographs of the Nazi concentration camps, then and now: Auschwitz Stammlager-Birkenau, Bergen Belsen, Dachau, Neuengamme, Sachsenhausen, Haus am Wannsee, etc. He gives this technical note on the JPEG scans: "I use PSP 4.0 Paint Shop Pro from JASC which, when you click on a folder, will open up a browser where all the photos in that folder will be put on the screen in thumbnails." He will be updating the photos as soon as he has been to the other camps Mauthausen and Buchenwald (or what's left of them). He has undertaken this immense task for the benefit of those interested in the facts about the Holocaust.
