Paxton Pits on a Muggy Day
It is 4 weeks since we last visited the Pits and enjoyed a few hours recording the wildlife. Yesterday was overcast with a gusty wind so not ideal for insect recording.

Cambridge Botanic Gardens Reopen
Cambridge University Botanic Gardens opened this week for Friends of the Gardens and will open next week to the general public. It was great to take Sadie and Meredith with their cameras for a visit there on Wednesday afternoon. While there Sadie took readings for her Home-School Science project on Heart Beat, Exercise and Recovery. Meredith just enjoyed running!
Life in a Daisy Part Two
A variety of flies, bees and a green leaf bug photographed on oxeye daisies. The first image of a Snail-killing fly (Ilione albiseta) is my favourite for its truly SciFi appearance. Fortunately it is very small!!
