Venus Pool - Big day insects

In addition to the birds, plenty of insects were still on show in the arable field! We were lucky to have two female Speckled Bush Crickets on show! Here's the first...






Plus the second one, easy to distinguish as she had a complete set of legs!


Roesel's Bush Cricket were all over the reserve but never easy to get them in the open!


Migrant Hawker perched up first thing...


Small Copper showing a bit of wear...


An unidentified as yet Digger Wasp species?


And at the end of the day, this lonesome Ivy Bee...






What a day!
