Insects at the Furze


My objective had been to photograph birds at the Furze, but there is just too much cover at this time of year. I could hear several clearly, but see nothing. After an hour or two of frustration, I changed lenses and switched to photographing insects, which were much more obliging.

Seven-spot Ladybird

Damselfly

Meadow Brown

Ringlet

Essex Skipper (notice the black underside of the antennal tip)

I also saw Brimestone and Marbled  White, but didn't get photos of these. Despite the long dry period, the recent rain bought forth one mushroom:
Mushroom growing on woodpile. Dark gills, free from stipe.
