Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.
Thursday, 10 August 2017
After yesterday's desperately wet and windy weather today was a big turn round although the strong northerly kept things cool on the coast. The usual raptors, 90+ godwits, a noticeable increase in Teal, a Kingfisher and probably fifty or more distant mixed hirundines.
Later, in the park the umbellifers are now all over so hoverfly numbers have dropped off a cliff with the above two species being the best plus this single Phasia hemiptera. The V.inanis was in the same place as last week.
No Adders and no birds.
