Evidence of birds moving through Montpelier this morning was provided by a
Blackcap which called briefly then flew between the trees and a calling
Chiffchaff, both at the station. Also a singing
Great Tit and
Coal Tit and a
Jay. Strangely, a
Blackbird sang briefly - unusual at this time of year. Nearby a
Garden Spider and an
Eristalis hoverfly together with a
Large White butterfly and a
Cluster Fly.

At St Andrews Park there were several
Green Shieldbugs, a
Groundbug species (possibly Nettle Groundbug?) and a
Leaf-cutter Bee. A Juvenile
Blackbird was a surprise - obviously from a late brood - and a couple of
Jays were flying around.

Yesterday a
Sparrowhawk landed briefly on the roof of the neighbours opposite but it didn't stay to be photographed.
