Drumboe woods.
Downpours with occasional brighter spells.
This Spruce Carpet moth landed briefly amongst the wet grass. It would be well camouflaged against the bark of a tree. Specimen about 2.5 cm. across as shown.
Three flies, now.
First, two blowflies also known respectively as the Blue-bottle and the Green-bottle.
And also this smaller member of the family. I can't get any closer identification without resorting to a microscope. About 1 cm. long.
Four tree leaves for the record. Oak (left) and Sycamore (right).
And Birch (left) and Lime (right).
