Quite noticeable this morning - many worm casts, first seen for many
months on the back lawn (I use the word 'lawn' reluctantly!)

The surface of the ground has remained moist after the rain of several
days back, helped in the two previous nights by a high dew-fall ('tr'
collected in gauge on both mornings) - and the soil temperature 30cm is
hovering between 9 and 10degC: presumably encouraged the little
blighters to come up and have a look around!

Also noted - a couple of butterflies (I think Painted Lady but can't be
sure) in the pleasant sunshine of the previous days (none today -
chilly, near-overcast).

The Relative Humidity is much lower today than for the past few days,
and with the brisk wind, the surface is going to dry out again.
