Had a few trips arpund various places, Kenfig, Cwm Col-Huw, Lincoln, our garden, here are some of the photos that I liked.
This is from Cwm Col-Huw, farmers field behind the reserve, grain ready to harvest in the evening sunlight
A few hoverflys
This is a Helophilus pendulus, a nice little fly - well marked and quite easy to ID
This is a 'common' one, a vagrant visitor, Sphaerophoria scripta, as you can see no common names for these.
On the other hand, the dragons have common names
Common Darter,
Sympetrum striolatum, they are nice dragons and a lot around at the moment
This one is a Migrant Hawker,
Aeshna mixta. It was
taken in Lincoln in mother in laws garden, not uncommon but less seen than others.
A Flower Beetle, he was not happy at me taking his picture - very much a 'My Flower, back off !' type of thing.
Butterflys, common and a lot about this year - Speckled Wood, like them a lot, any woodland glade or ride, in fact anywhere there are a few trees !
To finish off a favourite flower - Autumn Ladies Tresses, the latin name says it all - Spiranthes spiralis, the flowers are on a spike around 6cm tall, rarely more, and spiral up the stem. They are lovely close up - ( why I like Macro ) they look to be made of spun sugar or frozen water
Thats enough for now, some more later when I get chance to take them
