It was the annual hay cut today and we found a huge
Common Toad up on Church Field. A single
Jackdaw flew over and there was a scruffy
Silver Y moth plus lots of
Helophilus and
Eristalis hoverflies.

At Fairlawn Road a
Red Admiral was nectaring on Buddleia and there were lots of hoverflies as noted on Narroways. A pair of
Garden Spiders were courting I think, the (presumed) male gingerly waving his front leg towards the female who sprang at him and forced him to withdraw. A
Chiffchaff was calling nearby.

A party of 8
Starlings were sat on the roofs of houses in St Andrews Road - the first Starlings I've seen for a month or two.
