First coffee outside in the sun this year with M and plenty of birdsong from the usual suspects (Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Skylark). Four crow species, Buzzard, Swallow, Herring and Med Gull, Linnet and Goldfinch were flyovers.
Whilst waiting at the inevitable roadwork traffic lights Goldcrest was heard from adjacent gardens.
Back at base it was nice to hear Whitethroat along 'butterfly alley' for the first time this year and a single Cettis.
Whilst warm, the breeze from the south-east was still making it hard to find inverts.
So below, my first Osmia bicornis and Nettle-tap Moth of the year with this tumbling flower Beetle Anaspis spp 'photobombing' the moth. I didn't notice it until downloading the pictures.
