BUGS & BUTTERFLIES & BIRD (W/E 29/05/2015

A few images taken during trips out in the past week. I Have managed a few new species I find this  very interesting because there are thousands to find and identify.

Beetle Cantharis Rustica( St Gothian Sands NR 

Beetle Oedemera Nobilis ( St Gothian Sands NR )

Capsid Bug ( St Gothian Sands NR )

This is a new one for me, and as of yet not managed to find the specific species.

Chaffinch ( Buller Downs )

Common Blue ( St Gothian Sands NR )

Hoverfly Volucella Bombylans ( St Gothian Sands )

There are two species of this Hoverfly which mimic the Red-Tailed and White -Tailed Bumble Bee.

This is also a new species.

ST GOTHIAN SANDS 07/05/2015

Paid a visit to St Gothian Sands NR  yesterday morning. good to see some fine weather for a change.
Not much happening on the Bird front, so decided to see what I could find on the insect front, plenty of common flies around and a few not so common species.
The best of the morning for me was my first images of an Orange Tip Butterfly, and the Ichneumon Wasp was a first also.
So all in all a very enjoyable few hours and hope the weather continues to warm up and bring  out more insects for the lenses.
