Melangyna lasiophthalma - I have recorded 16 of this species in March, which is my highest yearly count beating 2018 (12). As well as previously reported, new for the year were
Episyrphus balteatus and a fine male
Criorhina ranunculi, although it was too high up for a photograph (bins view only) on Sallow.
Gorse Shieldbug
Primrose - most of the early spring flowers are now in bloom, I've been keeping an eye on this species as it has a species of fly that leaf mines it at this time of the year, no luck yet.
Sallow blossom - this fallen but blooming blossom at Lletty woods earlier in the week was a good source for hoverflies to feed on, I stayed here for about 30 mins and had 5 species of hoverfly.
