Back to Spelter

A fine day for watching my son play Rugby, but made the effort to get up early (ish) so I could sneak in another two hours at Spelter Water Mint patch. 27 species of hoverfly species seen today, with most being the same species I saw a couple of days ago with the exception of Chrysotoxum bicinctum (1) and Cheilosia pagana (1) new for the site.

Other insects included 6 Small Tortoiseshell butterfly, a Triangle Plume moth,  Tachina grossa and fera and 8 - 7-spot Ladybird. No birds of note this time. And by the way Glyncorrwg Rugby won again.
