2108 June 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Jeremy Tatum and David Harris went hopefully in overcast conditions to Eddy’s Storage on Stelly’s Cross Road yesterday, and we did manage to see a few Field Crescents <\/strong>still there.  Presumably in sunny weather there will still be quite a few to see there.  We also saw an adult Essex (European) Skipper.<\/strong>  <\/strong>Next stop was Gordon and Anne-Marie’s house and garden in the Highlands.  It was still overcast there and the only butterfly we saw was a rather late Western Spring Azure<\/strong>, which (if it is not the same species as the Holly Blue familiar to David in England) was a lifer for him.  The highlight there was a wonderful tea with cookies put on for us by Anne-Marie.<\/p>\n

   Jochen M\u00f6hr has been trying his hand – and camera – at bees, and photographed several. We haven’t managed to identify them to species, though Annie Pang suggests that the first is probably Bombus melanopygus<\/em> <\/p>\n
