Popped into the cemetery this afternoon where there were a few House Sparrows and Goldfinches knocking around along with the usual gulls on the surrounding rooftops.
Insect-wise there were 2 goodies, both true bugs and within a few inches of each other - a Hairy Shieldbug and a Rhopalus subrufa! I thought the latter species was a 'first' for the patch but I searched this blog and discovered that I saw one in June 2012. Elsewhere there were a couple of Eristalis hoverflies plus an interesting bracket fungus.

This morning at Montpelier Station the only birds of note were a group of feeding Long-tailed Tits and a Jay.
