Start of third week lockdown..

No sign of Mrs Peg today, much reduced gulls on the pond, just two Shovelers and another big drop in Tufted Duck numbers. At last a singing Dunnock was added to the list and another M'ipit flew over but otherwise the skies were bare.

Invert-wise my first Speckled Wood (here below snapped with phone), my first few Common Carders and a couple of Nomada spp bees, possibly fucata as they are cleptoparasites on A  flavipes the most obvious mining bee here. Helophilus pendulus (f) was a new for year hover.

Maybe take camera and macro lens and a specimen pot or two tomorrow if this weather holds out.

EDIT The female Peregrine WAS roosting and preening at 7pm watched through the scope although this one below was a bird at Chichester some years back.

And a bit of WTE info from Roy Dennis here
