Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.

A few insects locally..
Just locally today with three singing Blackcaps and two Chiffs plus a few invisible Meds up in the murk. The fenced off area was crawling with gazillions of mini spiders, my first Small White and two each of Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock, first Cheilosia spp and Meliscaeva auricollis although no other hovers. A few Bombus bees, several H-fFB (including 6 at home) including the above on top of a Bombus terrestris and a few Honey Bees and good numbers of Andrena spp above. Also small fungi above.
