Having not ventured much beyond the south-west in recent years there's a load of stuff I want to see. All the best.

One of my highlights last weekend was seeing good numbers of Northern Marsh Orchids at Flamborough & Bempton.<br /><br />Nice to see the White-legged Damselfly. It's a species that seems to have almost disappeared from the London recording area. We've had many gains in recent years, but sad to lose this one.<br /><br />Not heard of Morris's Wainscot-not one I'm likely to see. Should attend my first local mothing event at dawn tomorrow. Looks a warm night-so hopefully productive!Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954321689092627929.post-81311724402381944002021-06-29T11:43:18.288-07:002021-06-29T11:43:18.288-07:00Hi Nick - many thanks.

Would thoroughly recommend Culverhole Point - not only are the flowers amazing but it's heaving in insects - moths, butterflies and dragonflies - think you'd enjoy it. Hope to see you soon.

The Marsh Helleborines alone are worth the trudge. Mercifully no nudists yesterday. Suspect sunny weekends will bring 'em out. Never a good look carrying a camera and bins on a nudist beach. Good luck if you go!

I wonder if the wasp (having had a quick look in a book or two) is Gymnomerus laevipes (Box-headed Mason Wasp) https://www.flickr.com/photos/63075200@N07/albums/72157669383895165Exeprattlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545034823776739368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954321689092627929.post-83030932713982851952021-06-29T00:57:20.594-07:002021-06-29T00:57:20.594-07:00Great post Matt.

I don't recall seeing anything like that many orchids, but I wouldn't have had much idea what I was looking at anyway. I might have to take a long lunch break sometime soon... 😊 <br /><br />There are some amazing ammonite-encrusted slabs out that way too, though perhaps further towards Lyme? Hope the naturists were discreet. 😉Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.com
