Apologies to the few that follow my Blog, the last few days have been pretty busy and consequently there haven't been a lot of sightings. Today was no exception I'm afraid, as it was spent working on Star our "Tamar 2000", which is out of the water at the moment, having a facelift.
So it wasn't until this evening I got the chance to see what was about in the back garden. Birds noted were a Swift heading south!!, 2 Swallows heading north, the male Common Whitethroat still singing from the horse paddock close-by and a family of Long-tailed Tits in the Buddleia briefly, before heading into the neighbours garden
In the garden I came across a Swollen-thighed Beetle, a Buff-tailed Bumblebee, Honey Bees, a Marmalade Hoverfly, an unidentified Syrphus hoverfly and a Cherry-bark Moth (Enarmonia formosana) which I came across on the Cherry Tree. Where else I guess!!
My Lockdown Garden List is Here.
A before shot of Star. Tomorrow if all goes well there will be an after shot.
My attempt at capturing a Marmalade Hoverfly in flight.
A Swollen-thighed Beetle.
And long overdue, a really good buzz by Ted.
