Montpelier Park

A stroll round the children's play area this morning produced a Small Tortoiseshell, a Marmalade Hoverfly, some Creeping Cinquefoil, a couple of plants of Selfheal and a small wasp or Ichneumon species. A Woodpigeon was feeding nearby. The wall near one of the entrances had a couple of webs of probable Amaurobius spiders but I couldn't coax the occupant out. They say you can do this by touching the web to mimic a small invertebrate struggling in it.
