East Haven Webs Survey for June

I wasn't expecting large numbers or species of wetland birds as most have gone north or into the hills to breed. Basically, 5 species of Gulls, immature or non-breeding Oystercatchers, Curlews, drake Mallards and Eiders who play no part in rearing their young.

Also some garden insects despite the windy conditions recently.

This Microlight flew low along the tideline and appeared to continue along the beach toward Westhaven. I hadn't expected a high count of birds and the flypast didn't help as it flushed all of the birds

Common Gull, one of last years young

Cormorant

Immature Herring Gull

The first "returning" Redshank I've seen this season

Early Bumblebee

Common Carder Bee

Fork-tailed Flower-bee Anthophora furcata

Foxglove in Olive's garden, great for Bumblebees, but not for photographing them

No idea what this is, part of a mixture I bought, then I lost the name list...

Lupin, currently around 28 flowers in my wildlife garden and rapidly being overgrown with nettles I've left for the butterflies
