19th June 2022
There were notable counts, if not species, on the June WeBS count, with 414 Greylag Geese my highest ever count here. Of the other large species there were 110 Mute Swans (including 2 pairs, both with 2 cygnets, the latter not included in the total), 64 Canada Geese and 46 Egyptian Geese.
It was a good day for invertebrates, although not everything identified to species. Selected highlights included Aphis pomi on Hawthorn, a black tumbling flower beetle, possibly Mordellistena pumila, larva of Nematus septoniatrialis on willow, an unidentified large hairy click beetle sp and Pterocallis alni, an aphid on Alder.
