Again lots of hoverflies about today, but only 28 species, lots of blooming Angelica, Hemp Agrimony, Common Fleabane, Common Ragwort and even Yarrow being used. Good sightings included Baccha elongata (1), Chrysotoxum bicinctum(1), Dasysyrphus albostriatus (1),Eupeodes corollae (1), Eupeodes luniger (2), Leucozona glaucia (11), Xanthogramma pedissequum (1), Sericomyis silentis (7) and more Volucella pellucens (9). Most numerous hoverflies were Eristalis pertinax (190), Eristalis tenax (80) and Platycheirus albimanus (42).
Pretty quiet on the bird front except for immature Common Redstart and Willow Warbler and a brief Goshawk flyover.
