Wakeham
A very wet and windy day, but fortunately it dried up in the afternoon so that I could at least sit outside in the fresh air.
No new birds for my garden lockdown list, but a pair of Greenfinches in the neighbours garden was a good sign that at least a few are still around on Portland.
No bees or butterflies, but I did come across a hoverfly and a couple of flies. It was so windy they weren't flying, which at least made it easy to photograph them up close.
The hoverfly was a Pajupuuhari (Chalcosyrphus nemorum) and the flies were a probable Blow Fly (Lucilia caesar) and a Tachnid fly Gastrolepta anthracina, both new for my Portland List of Flies.
It looks like this male Blackbird has been doing a bit of "digging" in the neighbours garden
This is a Gastrolepta anthracina Fly and a new one for my Garden and Portland List
A Blow Fly possibly Lucilia caesar. Also a new one for both the garden and Portland List
A White-lipped Banded Snail and another...........
........one showing how they vary in colour and pattern
And Benji posing for the camera today.
