For once we had a sunny afternoon for our informal A Rocha/SWWG/SFG nature walk today, so I thought a record of some species we found around the Dingle Trail and Park Pond would be worthwhile. Bee Orchids (Waitrose) - about 20 as seedheads. Cat's Ear, Autumnal Hawkbit, Ground Elder. Black Spleenwort & impressive Lady Ferns. Butterflies - Large White c20, Small White 1, Holly Blue 5, Ringlet 2, Comma 3, Speckled Wood 3, Red Admiral 1. Scarlet Tiger Moth 3. Dragonflies - Banded Demoiselle female (also pairs afterward), Blue-tailed Damselfly 8, Azure Damselfly 2. Songbirds - Wren 2, Chiffchaff 2, Blackcap 1. Moorhen, both well grown and tiny young. Purple Loosestrife, Water Forget-me-not, Brooklime nfl, Gipsywort nfl, Figwort. Field Maple, Aspen, Horse Chestnut leaf miner. Common Spotted Orchids c30, also Ragged Robin, Large Birds-foot Trefoil, much Meadowsweet, Musk Mallow, Wild Carrot. Nice.
