1st May 2023-Bentley Wood

Pictures taken today in this set are of: 1. Primroses. 2. Spurge. 3. Charming wood anemone. 4 and 5. Stunning scenes of vibrant swathes of bluebells on the forest floor as we have seen before at this another of our key butterfly sites visited for the first time in 2023 today. 6. A beautiful Green Tiger beetle, it’s the fourth year running we’ve seen one now and third consecutive year at Bentley Wood I always feel so fortunate to see this wondrous and exotic looking insect hop across paths. An epic and immersive moment. 7. Some lovely eyelash fungus which I wasn’t expecting to see today and never had here before, one of a few great little things of nature I enjoyed today. 8. A crane fly I believe a cone horn cranefly I was amazed to see on the path towards the end of the walk, I found it so colourful and fascinating. As I’ve got more interested in insects beyond butterflies, moths, dragon/damselflies the past few years I’ve noticed just how rich in insect life Bentley Wood is which is so good. 9 and 10. Great green views in fine sunshine.

Oil beetle and snipe fly as I had seen here before were also good to see on the walk, as were a spider, bee flies, tadpoles and pond skater on the pond, pretty bugle, ground ivy, tormentil, greater stitchwort, garlic mustard and cuckooflower. It was a delight to hear a Cuckoo’s enchanting call reverberating through the woods I have had an amazing bank holiday weekend for these birds I love. Hearing the wholesome drumming of another of my favourites Great Spotted Woodpecker and Pheasant as well as seeing Blue Tit and Brimstone stood out too.

A green tiger beetle posed for me today :D What a distinguished gentleman. I've never actually seen one in real life up to now. It's really weird, because they usually signify clean environment, but I found him in the city centre🤔

Green Tiger Beetles will throw hands!

I saw a lot of green tiger beetles today and made a few observations:

Unlike other beetles, those guys will get into the air in half a second if you get too close. And they aren't any slower in the air.

Trying to photograph them with only my phone was a mistake.

You're best shot at getting a good picture is to find a mating pair, because they can't fly while they're mating.

They can still run while they're mating, and it looks really weird.

Luckily for me, it seems to be tiger beetle mating season right now, so I still got a few decent pics.

And after watching the second couple for a bit, I learned one last thing:

5. Tiger beetles will throw hands.

At least those two did. After they separated again.

It was only a short squabble, and a few seconds later they broke it off and flew away.

I don't know why they did that or if this is a common behavior though. Maybe those guys are just really territorial?

Looks innocent enough!

However, if of a squeamish disposition — do not continue. Green Tiger Beetle Cicindela campestris The clue is in the name — it’s not got black and yellow stripes — it’s a ferocious predator and so is it’s baby which lives in a burrow with only its face showing which will grab any passing creature, like an ant, and munch it up with its formidable jaws. These lavae become fat and juicy on their…

A spotted tiger beetle (Cicindela sexguttata). These metallic green beetles are native to North America and adults are efficient predators with large mandibles.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series poster by series producer James Tucker and someone named Miller (probably not That guy).

This was one of the funniest and most enjoyable series I've watched. I loved how it combined the goofiness of the Silver Age (with more than its fair share of Bob Haney insanity) with heroes from the Bronze and Modern Ages, and it still worked perfectly!

It was a love letter to the DC Universe, and reminded me of the days when comics were FUN!

Plus, the show featured the absolute best version of Aquaman EVER! You will never convince me otherwise.

Plus + plus: Jimmy Olsen delivers the classic line "Superman is a d----!"

My Great British Wild Year: Part 3 of 5-Dragonflies, damselflies and other wildlife

I had a dazzling year of dragonflies, from perfect moments by a stream at Nant-y-Pandy (The Dingle) on Anglesey seeing a colossal Golden-ringed Dragonfly to Keeled Skimmers in Pig Bush, New Forest’s boggy areas I had so many wonderful moments. Four-spotted Chaser was a star of my year with enchanting times seeing them at RSPB Valley Wetlands and Cors Dddyga as well as Hickling Broad, with brilliant Broad-bodied Chaser a key species enjoyed too. Emperors in all their masterful glory including one seen egg laying, eye catching and bold Southern Hawkers and marvellous manoeuvring Migrant Hawkers were ones I enjoyed fine views of locally and further afield so many times through the year. Hawkers dominated my year with gripping moments seeing distinctive Brown Hawker and also a fantastically fresh new species for us the Norfolk Hawker a key moment in my year on July trips to Norfolk and Rutland. Black-tailed Skimmer was a shining constant on my Lakeside walks in summer weeks, passing on the baton to scintillating Common Darter as well as Migrant Hawker as the season and year went on, the Common Darter another I had a great year for also seeing some mating. Delicate Ruddy Darter and Hairy Dragonfly were good to see too. A pivotal moment in my dragonfly year and an enchanting spectacle came at Thursley Common in late September when I was amazed to see so many slick, dainty and fabulous Black Darters.

Norfolk Hawker at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen

Black-tailed Skimmer at Lakeside in June

A Common Darter that was magical to see at Lakeside in August

It was an Azure Damselfly year for sure with especially at Lakeside Country Park and also at RSPB Cors Ddyga these splendid damselflies seen well. Especially at Lakeside Blue-tailed Damselflies were a strong theme of my year seeing so many, with strong showings from Beautiful and Banded Demoiselle this year. Pinnacles of my dreamy damselfly year perhaps were at at Hickling Broad when we saw a precious Emerald Damselfly, seeing them again twice in the September week off at RSPB Minsmere and Thursley.

A Blue-tailed Damselfly I enjoyed seeing at Cors Ddyga too.

I enjoyed immersing myself in other parts of nature I am less familiar with again this year especially other insects with some epic things seen both new and that I had before. Beetles playing a big part in this with tremendous views of Green Tiger beetle at Bentley Wood again, a striking Rose Chafer beetle seen at South Stack, Chrysomela populi at Newborough, Cardinal beetle, Swollen-thighed Beetle, Oedemera lurida, Black-and-yellow Longhorn beetle at Lakeside, oil beetles, bold Bloody-nosed beetle, Black Clock beetle and Violet Ground beetle on the Norfolk and Rutland July weekends respectively, many splendid Common Red Soldier beetles in the summer and Black-spotted Longhorn beetle at Bentley Wood. I did well for caterpillars this year too with Oak Eggar, Fox moth, Yellow-tail moth, Peacock butterfly and Garden Tiger moth ones standouts. Common Field Grasshopper, Roesel’s Bush-cricket, Long-winged Conehead and giant Great Green Bush-cricket a sensation to see on an insect fest at Durlston made it a strong cricket/grasshopper year for me. As well as a fair few Hornets themselves I had a really good year for seeing Hornet Mimic Hoverflies in the summer again and my first ever Lesser Hornet Hoverflies, truly appealing insects. I had great moments seeing Long and Marmalade Hoverfly this year too. One of my greatest wild moments of the year came in early August when I was euphoric to fulfill a goal of a seeing a Wasp Spider in the grass of Lakeside Country Park. An outstanding arachnid, and another was a treat to see a few times this year beautiful Nursery Web spider in a strong year of spiders I had with Long-bodied Cellar spider another key species especially in autumn. I got excellent views of Common Lizard and Slow Worm in 2023.
