Wet and rainy 28th May

Dull and overcast with light drizzle throughout the morning. I took the opportunity to attempt a clear up on all the slug species but only managed to find a few that I think I've seen already. A small number of diptera were on the wing and this was made apparent by low aerial feeding House Martins, Swallows and Swifts over Sand Point which were the only migrants seen today. Of the diptera seen the ones below were the only recorded and identified:

Chironomus dilutus
Nephrotoma appendiculata
