A few images from Paxton Pits Nature Reserve captured yesterday with a macro lens including this exotic Snakefly and yet another attempt at flying Beetles. Lots of caterpillars (including Ermine and Vapourer moths) and hoverfly larvae around now and the Buttercups had Pipiza hoverflies and very small Andrena bees. The biggest challenge was photographing (with a macro lens) the ceremony to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Friends of Paxton Pits! Trevor Gunton, one of the founders of the Friends, gave a short speech to explain the history of the Friends. A Plaque and three native Black Poplars have been planted to mark the event and many of the Volunteers who belong to the monthly work parties and wildlife surveys were present.
