Some nice invertebrates at Fairlawn Road this morning, including a couple of
Oedemera nobilis beetles, some
Dock Leaf Bugs, 3
Speckled Woods, a
Nursery Web Spider, 10
Harlequin Ladybirds, a
Marmalade Hoverfly and a
Helophilus pendulus hoverfly. The
Chiffchaff was showing well and I could hear young
Magpies in the trees. A
Jay was heard and a
Coal Tit sang near Old Ashley Hill.

At St Andrews Park there were seceral
Azure Damselflies in and around the pond and also a
Large Red Damselfly. Lots of
Tadpoles in the pond. A
Wolf Spider was basking on a lead, lots of
Wild Strawberries were fruiting and the meadow was looking good with several
Yellow Rattle flowers. A
Goldcrest was singing and a
Mistle Thrush was feeding on the grass.
