A sunny morning on Narroways brought out my first
Common Blue butterfly of the year along with a couple of
Speckled Woods. Also nearby was a
Large Red Damselfly, a
Yellow-legged Mining Bee, a
Marmalade Hoverfly, a
Picture-winged Fly, a
Tenthredo sawfly, two
Adela reaumurella micro-moths, a
Common Carder Bee and several
Oedemera beetles.

Not much in the way of birds on Narroways other than a calling
Bullfinch, a
Dunnock, a
Chiffchaff and a few
Long-tailed Tits. A
Great Tit was gleaning insects from the brickwork of the tunnel at the brook.
At Fairlawn Road there was a
Large Red-tailed Bumblebee and a larva of a
Dark Bush Cricket.

The only birds of note at St Andrews Park were a
Mistle Thrush and a
Starling.

Two
Blue Tit nests were noted today - one in a crack in the brickwork of the Malt House and another in the wooden verandah of a house in Leopold Road.
