Blackcaps are still in song - yesterday 2 were singing quite near each other at the station and today 1 was singing at Fairlawn Road along with a
Chiffchaff. There was also a
Coal Tit and a
Jay nearby.
Invertebrates along the verge at the latter location included adult, larva and pupa stages of
Harlequin Ladybirds, a couple of
Honey Bees, a '
Syrphus' hoverfly, a
Marmalade Hoverfly, a
Merodon equestris hoverfly, a
Large Skipper butterfly and a
Sawfly. It was good to see a
Nursery Web Spider Pisaura mirabilis carrying her egg coccoon in her jaws.
