At the park finally, a couple of male Chalkhills (my first this summer) made it to the 'tree dump' area presumably searching for females and/or horshoe vetch, whilst around the pond a couple of fresh Holly Blues and my first male Southern Hawker and Figwort Sawfly. Unlike this time last year precious few hovers and little Wild Carrot to attract them; presumably the early, hot and extended spring has had a detrimental effect. All insects seem to be hard to find.
