At Chi stil at least two very noisy juvenile Peregrines chasing each other around the cathedral skies.

Back home still three female V.zonaria on the same patch of Hemp Agrimony today joined by a male V.inanis a few common hovers and some bees and wasps awaiting id; (Cerceris rybyensis above, Andrena flavipes, Lassioglossum albipes (?) and Lasioglossum spp).

Not so attractive but Sarcophaga flies, as above, are always quite photogenic. Speckled Wood, Red Admiral and a couple of Holly Blues, this posing one being pretty worn.

A Cettis was calling just yards away.
