Oh dear, getting a bit behind again. I want to write about my trip to the USA, but I also want to keep up to date with the other stuff. Right, April might be a tad abbreviated...
Sunday 15th - around Shotesham, Orange-tip, D-e Bee-fly, Yellow Archangel etc
Saturday 14th - 94 rook nests at the bottom of Shotesham Common - also 17 Linnets, a Little Egret and a Chinese Water Deer by Hawes Green/Eastells Lane. Moth trap pretty dull overnight - 11 moths of 6 species.
Friday 13th - a leafhopper from the garden looked at in microscope - family Cicadellidae as has spined tibia. No idea what species though. Elsewhere, Wood Anemone in flower in the Great Wood.
Thursday 12th - a garden hoverfly keyed (with microscope now!) as female Platycheirus albimanus - this seems to be common, as I keyed lots more of these over the coming days.
Wednesday 11th - now 7 Chiffchaffs and 3 Blackcaps on my run round Shotesham.
Monday 9th - walk around Shotesham looking at plants, getting confused by using sepal lengths to separate Common and Early Dog-violets. I'm sure it's obvious, once you know...
No photos of interest this week.
