To think we nearly didn't go to the
Hanglands. Well we were glad we did as the reward was a
Honey Buzzard (my third and
Weedon's World of Nature's first in the
PBC area) circling over Ailsworth Heath before being encouraged to drift off roughly west by a Common Buzzard rising from the wood calling.
The insects were also good with some more of the
Euro-wasps" seen feeding on umbellifers plus these.
Emerald Damselfly (
Lestes sponsa), female
Ruddy Darter (
Sympetrum sanguineum)
Conops quadrifasciata a happy couple of conopid flies
Sphaerophoria (scripta?) (a hover fly)
