I particularly enjoy trying to spot the hoverflies that are found on the sides of the paths, and particularly on the Hogweed heads through Dene Park.
Today there were at least three Cheilosia illustrata, many, many Eristalis pertinax, many Myathropa florea, one Xylota segnis, one Xanthogramma pedissequum, a few Episyrphus balteatus and a lot of Melanostoma scalare, usually flying lower down.
Butterflies were a bit scarce, but there were two Ringlets over at Ringlet Corner, a few Commas and Speckled Woods, Pararge aegeria, but that was about it.
