I went back to Fairlawn Road to try and photograph the Ringlets today but couldn't find any. I saw a
Leaf-
cutter Bee and tried to shoot it but it wouldn't keep still. Then I tried to photograph what looked like a
Chrysotoxum bicinctum hoverfly (which would be a 'first' for the patch) but it just wouldn't play ball. I did see a
Small Tortoiseshell, a
Small White and a
Speckled Wood though. Also a
Sphaerophoria hoverfly. Some
Hedge Woundwort was in flower nearby.
Last night had 6
Scarlet Tigers, a
Large Yellow Underwing and lots of
Rush Veneer moths in the flat.
There were several
Azure Damselflies and a single
Large Red Damselfly at St Andrews Park pond this afternoon. Needless to say, they all flew off when I got my camera out.
