A new hoverfly Crysotoxum festivum 9th June

A cold north-easterly wind early morning made it feel less like summer although officially it's still meant to be a couple of weeks away yet. In Sand Bay 20 Black-headed Gulls, 12 Dunlin, 14 Ringed Plover, 1 Whimbrel and 6 Curlew. At Sand Point Glanville Fritillary and Brown Argus on the wing. I found a new hoverfly today Chrysotoxum festivum which was very smart indeed. Also the first Bee Orchids out and the Foxgloves are coming into full flower in the bay.
