And it's out with the macro lens!!








 










Andrena flavipes, Phaonia subventa, Pisaura mirabilis, Anthophora plumipes, Vespula vulgaris, Meliscaeva auricollis and Eupeodes spp.

Despite the cold wind the sun was heating up more sheltered areas which produced the above inverts plus a few Eristalis tenax, Syrphus spp, Bombus terrestris and honeybees especially near the tops of flowering blackthorn.

No birdlife to speak of and no further sightings of the colour-ringed gull.
