At Lletty Brongu sewage works and river today there were 4 male Eristalis pertinax feeding on Sallow Blossom and a single male Eristalis tenax basking on the dead Japanese Knotweed stalks.
The only other insects were 3 Honey Bees and about 5 species of unknown flies and midges. The first blossoms have started to emerge in Sallow, Lesser Celandine and Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage. Very little on the bird front with Goldcrest being the best observation.
