Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album)
These attractive butterflies can be found from April to November throughout England and Wales and in many parts of Scotland. The underside of their wings is a dull brown colour with a small white 'C' shaped marking which gives the butterfly its name. Only about 100 years ago the species was almost extinct - between 1830 and 1920 only the odd specimen was recorded. After 1930 its numbers started to increase and presently the Comma is a familiar sight in woodlands and gardens.

Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis)
Soapwort is a member of the carnation family and believed to have been introduced from Europe in ancient times. It can be found growing in a wide range of marginal habitats such as road verges, hedges, banks and waste ground, and most frequently in damp woods and alongside streams. The plant's main use was, and still is, for making soap. Boiling any part of it in water yields a detergent. The plant also has a tradition of being used as a medicinal herb for treating skin conditions. Soapwort forms the basis of many conditioning shampoos and body washes and it can be used as a bath additive by either crushing its dried root and putting a few tablespoons in a muslin bag, or by boiling the root to extract the juice.

Rhode Island Red hen
The Rhode Island Red breed of chickens was developed in the US state of Rhode Island in the 1890s, by crossing a large variety of other breeds including the Buff Cochin, Langsh, Black Red Malay, Hamburgh and Rose combed Leghorns for both meat and eggs, to satisfy the demands of the American population. The breed arrived in the UK in 1903 and became extremely popular very quickly, and crossed with the Sussex breed forms the basis of most present-day hybrids.
