Lunchtime at Belgrave

A sunny and rather pleasant afternoon with Speckled Wood, Large White and Peacock all on the wing. What was a surpise were two very fresh looking Anthophila fabriciana, or Nettle Tap, on a clump of bindweed flowers. These are normally active from May onwards so I assume they may have a second generation? Great Spotted Woodpecker was seen in the riverside willows near to Loughborough Road and a very smart male Migrant Hawker was watched for several minutes as well. Plenty of Goldcrest and Long Tailed Tit in Belgrave Gardens but who knoes what may have been hiding in amongst them.......
