Seeing the Changes 130





At the NWCW, the acorns are appearing on Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). Lots of insect activity between the showers including Red admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) and the Hoverfly (Volucella bombylans) on Hemp agrimony as well as Yellow dungfly (Scatophagia stercoraria) on Fleabane. An Ichneumon (Ichneumon suspiciosus) prowled the vegetation.
