Rain, rain and more rain. When I did venture out I got caught in more rain. My only salvation was the Ivy in the Treharne road back lanes. Which produced a male and two female Volucella zonaria, Other highlights were few and far between but a Scaeva pyrastri and 3 Sericomyia silentis were the best. Even here Eristalis tenax (10) was the most numerous species. Numbers of hoverflies are dropping rapidly and the Ivy in other areas of the valley are starting to bloom.
