The station produced a
Chiffchaff and flyover
Sparrowhawk and
Buzzard. At least 2
Brimstones were flitting along the disused platform and a pair of
Magpies were building a nest.

At the top of St Andrews Road I was surprised to see a couple of plants of
Alexanders in flower - I've never seen them at this location before! On one of them was a
Yellow Dung Fly and a
Green Shieldbug was nearby.

Fair lawn Road produced a
Peacock, a
Small Tortoiseshell and my first
Comma of the spring. Other insects included a
Sawfly species, a
7 Spot Ladybird, a couple of
Harlequin Ladybirds, a
Dock Leaf Bug, a
Common Carder Bee and a probable
Common Wasp queen. The garden variety of
Yellow Archangel was in flower as were several plants of
Spanish Bluebell, and a
Coal Tit was singing.
