A quick visit in to Normanby Park this morning to track down the Nuthatch nest yet again (successful this time!) led me to clouds of these wonderful flies dancing among the trees - I know they aren’t St Marks flies which are due any day now so what are they?
Wayne had an early 4.30 start back at Messingham this morning to do a full Warbler count as it seems to be one of the best springs certainly in my memory for both numbers and earliest dates for migrants - he counted 37 Reed Warbler, 12 Sedge Warbler, 6 Garden Warbler and and 2 Lesser Whitethroat.

ReplyDeleteHi there. These are infact Adela reaumurella, a type of longhorn moth - loads of them around my area this year!
