With the garden and local walks dried up in all the heat and lack of rain, we thought that Fowlmere with its abundant water supply might produce a few more insects and possibly a bird or two. Certainly there were plenty of butterflies including my favourite little gem, the Brown Argus. Also Common Bblue, Small Heath and Speckled Wood. A sprinkling of other insects including a Volucella zonaria - Hornet Mimic Hoverfly, and a matching coloured Bug, Common Blue Damselfly and Ruddy Darter. Phil watched a young Water Rail for a long while.
