Narroways

Very quiet this morning a male Grey Wagtail at the brook, a couple of Chiffchaffs (Simons Grove and Stony Path) and 2 Blackcaps (Stony path and near brook).
Saw an interesting fly Tachina fera (church field, top gate see pic) which I've only ever seen before in Avon Gorge. Also a Common Carder Bee (cutting) and the hoverfly Melanostoma scalare (orchard).

Quite a large patch of Bush Vetch in flower on the cutting.

 The rain prevented a thorough search of St Andrews Park but I noted a calling Coal Tit and a Mistle Thrush was feeding on the grass.

A couple of Goldfinches in the garden today - unusual for them to actually settle here.
