You know where I've been and why.
3/4 of a Norfolk Hawker.!
I couldn't not go to see them again. Though they're now spreading out across the South West, both locally to Beesands and regionally, having arrived on the Levels. Unlike most large dragonflies they will not only fly up to and around you, but set down and - if you're careful - allow a close approach, as you can see.
I did a little seawatching at two locations; the second doing better than the first, with a close-in feeding agglomeration of gulls joined by seve- no, ni- no, fourt- no, at least nineteen shearwaters, mostly Balearic, too!
Awful pics,
Balearics
Manx and Balearics
Finally got a steady full-zoom
shot, how many can you see?
[The first had a Guillemot and three Gannets. Yeah. But you try.]
Now we have a variety of this and that from here and there..
Red-banded Sand Wasp
Greatest excitement during first seawatching session...
Yikes!
Who says Meadow Browns
are dull?
Black-tailed Skimmer
Blue-tailed Damselflies
Peacock caterpillar
Potato Capsid?
[Antennae long and no black spots]
Yellowhammer with
caterpillar and grasshopper
Pterostichus nigrita
or
Platynus assimilis
I can't tell as they are illustrated in Brock by the exact same photo.!?!?
Time for some bees.
[But not IDs, I really need to get this posted!]
I think the same sp.?
And a little scenery to finish.
Ah, dear Devon.
:)
Be Seeing You...
