Cream-bordered Green Pea.
Looks like the Great Black-backed Gulls have bred again on Topps Tiles - just the one juvenile seen.
Ringlet - Dinan Way.
One of three lovely Pyramidal Orchids along Marine Drive. I also counted 43 along Dinan Way, opposite Lidl, but the Bees are way past it.
Four-leaved Allseed - a plant growing out of the wall along Marine Drive.
Red Goosefoot - thank you to Neil for id.
22-spot Ladybird Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata.
Rosemary Beetle.
Small Angle Shades.
Crescent Plume.
White Stonecrop.
Lucerne.
Rock Sea-spurrey - some nice clumps of this at the end of Marine Drive, beneath the cliffs.
Six-spot Burnet.
A nice mix Matt. The ladybird is 22-spot- a mildew feeder. Believe the goosefoot is a Red Goosefoot. Looks like Lucerne to me-don't see any obvious hybrid characters.
ReplyDeleteAllseed is turning up in a few places around London recently-in paving, flower beds, etc.
Caught up with just under 20 Silver-studded Blues yesterday at Chobham Common. Highlight of my week was seeing a Lizard Orchid not too far from home. It was discovered last year. Biggest frustration of the week was having a wonderful day at Bempton last weekend only for a Black-browed Albatross to turn up 2 days later!
Thank you Neil. Twenty SSBlues sounds like a good total - lovely butterflies. Well done on the Lizard Orchid too - only saw my first this spring. Can imagine your annoyance with the BB Albatross - have seen the photos and it looks amazing. Never seen one and not likely to in Exmouth at least - not the best sea-watching location. Good to hear from you as always. Matt
