At last after scrutinising beeflies for years, a lifer Dotted Beefly was amongst 30+ Dark-edged!!
Not too much on the bird front today but seven Swifts (up to 14 later via the BB) were the first this year and Reed Warblers were up. Eight species of hovers including this Rhingia campestris (above) but no other notable diptera; some Andrenas including cineraria and scotica (above) and several Nomads including above which just might be ruficornis. Sadly, and I shouldn't be surprised, but RC found Andrena vaga on site some time after I left - a once very rare species which hopefully will be available still at next visit.
Moth-wise, Early Thorn (above), Nut-tree Tussock and this Scarce Prominent (above) - a lifer with a SW Hampshire distribution so not too likely in my trap!
