Also some critters on the walk through Crawley woods to the beach. Small copper butterflies (Lycaena philaeus); Eristalis arbustorum; and Drone fly (Eristalis tenax). There was much activity by bees burrowing in the dunes. The bee itself (Dasypoda altercator) is shown competing in a group and alone. A collection of tunnels is also shown in the side of a dune. Other Hymenoptera were evident in a digger wasp (Ammophila sabulosa) and Marble galls of Andricus kolleri. On the beach itself was a Brittle star (Ophiothrix fragilis).
