Wheatears and Whinchats

7th May

In the morning I went to Wraik Hill looking for bees and hovers hoping to find a shrill carder but failed on that one again, too early?

                                                                  Eupeodes corollae

                                 Four shots of the Chocolate mining bee Andrena scotica

A late afternoon walk along the wall up to the third kissing gate where I saw at least 10 wheatears, 6 on the wall together and on the farm track 3 whinchats.
