A few good insects near the pond and meadow area today despite overcast conditions. At the pond was a
Mint Moth Pyrausta aurata and a
Sphaerophoria hoverfly. There was a
Green Lacewing larva in the meadow - the first one I've ever seen - and a
Syritta pipiens hoverfly. The only butterfly was a
Small White.

Back home, a couple of
Holly Blue butterflies were flying around near the ivy in the garden. There was also a
Scalloped Oak moth nearby.

At the station there was an interesting-looking
Cranefly species sat on the wall but not much else of note.
