Earwi-go!

I can't remember the last time I recorded Common Earwig on the patch if at all, but a nice specimen was at St Paul's Cemetery this afternoon. There were also several Honey Bees, a Buff-tailed Bumblebee and a Common Carder Bee. Birds included several House Sparrows, 5 Starlings, a Carrion Crow and lots of Goldfinches.

A couple of Jackdaws flew over the station this morning, also the Blackcap was heard. The disused platform was full of flowers including Ox-eye Daisy, Hogweed, Red Valerian and Wood Avens. Thick-thighed Flower-beetles were seen once again.
