1 x Green-veined White, male. 1 x Green-veined White, female. 1 x Orange Tip, male. 1 x Small Tortoiseshell.
Bright and warm, with a sprinkle of drizzle.
My first Orange Tip of the year: 4 days earlier than last year and found about 1m away from where I found my first specimen last year.
Female (left) and male (right) Green-veined Whites.
New season's Herb Robert, as opposed to all the stragglers left over from last year.
Neoascia podagrica is the smallest hoverfly I've photographed. Less than 5mm long.
A much smaller than usual Eristalis. Maybe something like Eristalis interruptus, or perhaps just a runt.
New growth of the thalloid liverwort Conocephalum conicum has appeared on the back wall of the ditch.
