Cloudy with showers.
Two pictures left over from Tuesday. On the left a tiny (1cm.) moth, either Pyrausta purpuralis or Pyrausta ostrinalis. I'm still trying to find out how to separate those two. On the right the Common Twayblade orchid - Listera ovata. Thanks to Gill for the id on that one.
This picture made me smile: Ivy leaved Toadflax - Cymbalaria muralis - growing alongside Ivy - Hedera helix.
These are the catkins of the Osier - Salix viminalis. The black tip to the branch was caused by over-optimistic growth last November. This specimen had to restart growth after the frosts had gone.
This is a Platycheirus sp. - the front tarsi are elongated.
Three more hoverflies. The first is a Cheilosia - possibly C.albitarsis - very black and with a fine line of yellow hairs along the abdomen. The second is a Syrphus.
This one is an Eristalis sp.
