First up earlier was this Broad Centurion (great name).
Birdwise little, although still the odd Med Gull, fifteen or so Turnstones, a dozen or more Black-tailed Godwits (presumably not intending to holiday in Iceland!), a male Sparrowhawk, presumably from the local nest, a distant calling Cuckoo and both Marsh Harriers.
Xylota sylvarum and Chrysogaster solstitialis were both new for the year amongst various other hoverflies, this Vollucella pellucens being one of the more obvious. Depressaria daucella caterpillars were very common on Hemlock Water-dropwort ; shame the moth is so dull.
Several Andrena cineraria were the more obvious amongst the bees.
And finally a rather drab Hairy Dragonfly was hawking the area near the 'badger' but was far too busy to pose.
