Insects at Woodsmill

 We went to Woodsmill, this morning, birds were difficult to see though we heard Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Reed Warbler, Common Whitethroat, among others, but no pics so we concentrated on insects, mainly Butterflies and Dragon/Damselflies of which there were many as well as a whole host of other critters! Some of which bit us!! Some pics below, ID's where I think I know what they are. Margie's pics are first then mine!

A very nice walk around, the variety of insects is fantastic, amazing what happens when you don't douse everything in pesticide, eat organic!!!!!!
