A beautiful spring day. I heard and saw my first cuckoo of the year in trees at the bottom of the garden. The honey bees were out in force and the number and species of hoverflies have increased, including this Rhingia campestris.
The first garden carpet (Xanthorrhoe fluctuata) of the year attended the moth trap and there was a dark form water carpet (Lampropteryx suffumata piceata).
This common damsel bug (Nabis rugosus) was a new species to my camera. It is a predator that lives in dry grasslands.
Drone fly (Eristalis pertinax).
