Another wander at lunchtime today. There was a strange bird call coming from Simon's Grove which sounded like a possible young Sparrowhawk - worth keeping an eye out if you are in the area. Also 1
Common Blue butterfly, 2
Marbled White on cutting, an
Azure Damselfly near Boiling Wells entrance, hoverflies including
Marmalade Fly,
Myathropa florea and
Cheilosia illustrata and several
Tree Bumblebees.

In Fairlawn Road there were a couple of
Hedge Woundwort plants in flower plus some
Valerian which I've never seen on the patch before (unless Chris found it when he was surveying - will check his records.) A great hoverfly,
Volucella pellucens, was nectaring on some Hogweed on the building plot, while a
Helophilus pendulus hoverfly was nearby.
