Southey Wood

The idea of this lunchtime dash was to see if we could locate any Crossbills as they have been turning up in odd places and appear to be invading the country, at least in a small way. No Crossbills, but Spotted Flycatcher, Marsh Tit and the usual woodland birds were good.

Hoverflies were again in evidence with Volucella pellucens present as well as the ones below.
