This morning at the station there were at least 4
Swifts seen distantly by focussing my bins on the TV mast and scanning the skies. I hope I get to see more of them this summer but they are sadly declining.
I would so love to cross the railway line near the tunnel and have a rummage amongst the vegetation but as I'm a law-abiding citizen I have to make do with binoculars. It's surprising what you can see through them when looking for insects - there was a
Myathropa florea hoverfly, a
Yellow Dung Fly, a
Thick-thighed Flower Beetle, a
Large White butterfly and a
Green-veined White all seen through my bins!
