26th May

Clear skies and a wind swing to a more westerly direction. This meant that the warm southern slope of Sand Point was now exposed to a cold breeze which certainly showed by the drop in insect numbers. Not so many good finds today but I did record new plants and insects. The most notable was Bramble Sawfly which gave an all too brief view. Two new hoverflies seen today: Riponennsia splendens and Syritta pipens. New plants found were Pink Sorrel and White Dead-nettle.
