And the sun's beating down heatin' up this house like a blow torch.....

Just another Tuesday in the south.... (courtesy M. Lambert etc)

Combination of heat and personal circumstance are limiting  30DWiJ to local stuff. So a quick look in the garden produced this Ancistrocerus spp (Potter wasp) and a Megachile bee plus the usual garden hovers. At least a dozen Med Gulls went over westwards, some, despite calling, almost impossible to see in such a blue sky; a Common Tern also went over as did three or four Swifts.

Alarm calling Herring gulls alerted to these two Buzzards which came in from the west and turned northwards. Meadow Browns have now replaced Speckled Woods and a couple of Commas including this one on the fence rail.
The Southern Hawker was patrolling the first bay. Also some local fisherfolk!!
