With my factory shutting down today at 12pm and with full pay to boot, shopping is done, so all that is left is a 2hr outdoor exercise according to Boris. I "exercised" around an empty Blaencaerau, 3 species of hoverfly were seen, nothing new for the year. Totals were Platycheirus albimanus (5m), Melangyna lasiophthalma (2f) and Eristalis pertinax (2).
Other new insects for the year included the tachinid fly Gonia picea (3), the butterfly Peacock (3) and March fly Bibio lanigerus (1). On the bird front a single Chiffchaff was calling. No new blooms today.
Tachinidae - Gonia picea
March fly species - Bibio lanigerus
