Well....maybe not a bonanza, but.there were a couple of
Large Whites, a
Green-veined White and 2
Commas at the station and 3-4
Gatekeepers (my first of the year on the patch) at Narroways seen from the train. The latter were on
Hemp Agrimony flowers. There was also a good show of
Rosebay Willowherb.

In Montpelier Park there was a
Sphaerophoria hoverfly and clouds of
Horse-chestnut Miner moths - they are getting to plague proportions and badly affecting the leaves.

Coal Tit in the park and a
Jay at the station.
