On a warm sunny morning there were plenty of invertebrates to enjoy. At Fairlawn Road a
Speckled Bush Cricket sat on a leaf (the first time I've seen one on the patch I think, although my bat detector often picks up their songs) and my first ever
Xylota segnis hoverfly was nearby. Another hoverfly,
Myathropa florea was also noted. A nice selection of butterflies here included a
Holly Blue (scarce this year), a
Speckled Wood and 2
Ringlets. A distant
Swift was seen from Hurlingham Road.

At the station there was a

Ringlet. A
Blackcap called.
A nice display of
Maidenhair Spleenwort,
Wall-rue and
Hart's Tongue Fern on a wall in St Andrews Road.
