Sunshine

The afternoon sunshine brought out some good insects at the station including plenty of Tree Bumble Bees, Buff-tailed Bumble Bees, Honey Bees, a Seven-spot Ladybird and a Marmalade Hoverfly. There was also a mystery bee species I am trying to get identified.

It was good to see many plants of Hedge Woundwort near the tunnel - this attractive plant seems to be spreading on the railway embankment. Nearby was a single Creeping Cinquefoil flower.

 All quite on the bird front apart from a Robin in the garden and a calling Coal Tit and singing Chaffinch in Montpelier Park.
