Garden bird race and Otiorhynchus porcatus

55 species from the garden today and missed some that I really should have got, like Hen Harrier. However, Merlin, Goldeneye, Osprey and Arctic Skuas were nice.


Blurry Osprey, with (presumed) Brown Trout, raising a commotion.

 Dog walk (exercise) Ice, off patch unfortunately.

Star of the day was a new beetle for the garden and NFM too. Otiorhynchus porcatus, 5mm of quite distinctive weevil in one of the garden pitfalls and to be released the morn.
