The first night with plenty of sleep thanks to reduced temperatures, a nice breeze and quiet foxes; two of the latter cubs were layed out on the shed and garage roofs kipping in the sun.
Dropped car off to have rear tyre replaced; pretty close to illegal!!
Whilst waiting I walked down to the PD for a coffee and bap where, luckily, I managed to be the first person served before a queue of 'mummies' and screaming toddlers from the adjacent play area!! Always worth carrying ear-plugs.
And so a very brief walk around the top half of the pond where there were lots of Bee-wolf, some Pantaloon Bees, some Sphecodes bees and a couple of Common Darters, all of which were new for year. No time for much else before the phone call to collect the car.
A brief visit to QECP on the way home was a mistake; time would have been better spent on the heath.
Home for post; just BTO stuff and junk mail, no GWH membership card yet.
No photos.
