St Andrews Park

Hoverflies in the park this afternoon included 2 of the bee-mimic Merodon equestris, 1 Eupeodes corollae, a couple of Marmalade Hoverflies, a Sphaerophoria hoverfly and a Syritta pipiens. The Soldier Fly Chloromyia formosa was nice to see and an Azure Damselfly was resting on a leaf at the pond. Bees included several Honey Bees, the nest of Tree Bumblebees, a few Early Bumblebees and 1 or 2 Buff-tailed Bumblebees.

At home, a juvenile Woodpigeon was feeding outside the window and a Jackdaw flew past the flat.
