End of season at the Welfare Park

 Most of the Ivy has finished and hoverfly numbers are low. So another season winds up. There were 8 species at the park Ivy and dying flowerbed. Platycheirus clypeatus being the only hoverfly of note. Episyrphus balteatus was the most numerous at 15. Any more hoverfly records will be casual/isolated observations rather than recording at sites.

Just the 3 Red Admiral left among the 100's of Common and Tree Wasps.
