(Eristalis nemorum, Tachina fera/magnicornis x2, Ectophasia crassipennis - Twist-winged Parasite Fly - Cheilosia impressa, Speckled Yellow, Dactylorhiza spp , probably Common Spotted Orchid)
Despite an early(ish) start to avoid the heat of the day, it was tough finding anything. Speckled Yellow was the commonest Lepidoptera by far. Bird song is already dieing off for the spring and I'm guessing the heat is not helping - the best were two Bullfinches in the conservation area and a distant heard-only Yellowhammer. Three Swallows and a tatty kite were about it otherwise.
The two hovers were recorded via FB and both NfY.
