Buddha flies

A nice variety of butterflies on the patch this morning, starting with a Speckled Wood and a Small Tortoisehell along the railway path while along Fairlawn Road there was a Large White and 4 Ringlets. In the small pocket of overgrown garden in Fairfield Road there were 2 or 3 Small Skippers. The station could only produce a few Large Whites.

Other stuff included Syrphus and Xanthogramma hoverflies along Fairlawn Road and a Leaf-cutter Bee at Fairfield Road.
