I'm sorry for the lack of posts over the last two and a half months but I was away most of April and busy catching up after I returned so apart from anything else I missed posting a number of press releases from TFL and the HWDT. I might put a couple of the more significant ones up but thought I'd start off with some images and a video of a female Splayed Deerfly
Chrysops caecutiens feeding on a blue cornflower.
Well I thought it was until Neil Anderson pointed out in the comments below that it was the Great Pied Hoverfly
Volucella pellucens which is the very opposite of the rarity I thought I'd found.
I should have paid more attention and feeling suitably
