I was surprised to see a tiny beetle in the bath this morning and even more surprised when it jumped when I touched it. On closer inspection I could see it had thickened hind femora so I think it is one of the
Flea Beetles. Now that's all very exciting but sadly it might not have originated in Monty - I suspect it hitched a lift on my clothing as I had been out all day yesterday on the saltmarshes near Avonmouth!

At the station along the wall were several spiders - I can't get an ID on them but I think they might be
Zygiella x-notata. I have my own
Zygiella of course - in my bathroom window - and she is getting fat on fruit flies that originate in my kitchen waste bin.

Michaelmas Daisies were still in flower at the station.

Yesterday at the station there was a
Syrphus hoverfly and a
Common Carder Bee.
