Today we went back to one of our old haunts Crowle Moor and had some really good stuff including this Green Tiger Beetle, we have never seen so many must easily have been 30-50. We also had loads of Large Red Damsel-Flys and 4 x Four Spotted Chasers - on the bird front we had our first Tree Pipit of the year plus 7 Hobbys, 1 Buzzard, 1 Marsh Harrier, 2 Kestrel, 2 Cuckoos, 1 stunning male Bullfinch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Garden Warbler and 5 Willow Warblers.

That is a very tame four spotted chaser! Wonderful pics of it. I had no idea they were so large.
ReplyDeleteHi Wilma - lovely to hear from you - the Dragon was docile as the sun had gone in and it was too cold for it to fly - regarding previous post yes it is a bat box but the interesting thing is the Treecreeper's nest in the crack in the bark above it!
