26th July |
One or two upland paths - through woodland and heath areas.
Drizzle and inside cloud. |
Two shots of spider's webs, showing the moisture in the air. Left from the top, over Bell Heather, and right from underneath on Gorse.
|
A green Capsid Bug on Cat's Ear. I notice that the Cat's Ear is now being replaced by Autumn Hawkbit.
|
This looks like a St. Mark's fly with red legs. Didn't know they lasted this long. Bibio pomonae does, apparently, and has red on the legs, so I'll go with that. |
These are the fruits of a Rush - as yet unidentified. |
The Sneezewort has arrived. It is closely related to Yarrow. |
I watched this tiny spider catch and wrap a little moth for later consumption. About 8mm long, including legs.
|
The Yellow Bartsia is a very interesting plant. It is a relative newcomer and is spreading slowly across the country. This specimen was seen about 4km north of where I recorded it last year. So I suspect that must be the rate of movement.
A definite sign of a warming environment. |
I've seen quite a few of these second brood Green-veined Whites. It was damp enough to get this one to rest for a moment. |
The Devil's-bit Scabious is in bud, now. It is very common around here in wetter, higher areas. |
