She(?) loved the marjoram flowers. Brimstones and gatekeepers along with some whites were all out for the sunny afternoon.<br />

I watched another broad bodied chaser which had just emerged from its nymph yesterday.<br />
<br />
The wings were not yet pumped up and it was clinging to the empty shell of its previous body. (left)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Two hours later, it was just about ready to fly but the body colours still had to develop fully. That would happen over the following few days.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
There are about 25 damselfly exuviae on the iris stem in the pond. But, more interesting, are my first two broad bodied chaser exuviae. (One shown right). They are twice the size of the common darter ones I found there <a href="http://http//petraswalks.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/darters-have-bred.html">last year</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />

The second picture is a freshly emerged large red damselfly with some small exuviae in the background.<br />
<br />
<br />
It looks like there are plenty of damsels for the chaser to chase!<br />

<br />
<br />
I made another visit to the wood today. The bluebells still looked gorgeous but now the light was dappled shade. The leaves are opening on the trees. It will soon get quite dark.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There were a few more orchids by the stream and now some wild garlic flowers have put in an appearance. (right)<br />

<br />
Either it's a really good year for bluebells this year or I caught the wood on just the right day, but the show seems better than usual this time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct4IEdBPZ_A/Vxowvy8K4FI/AAAAAAAAA9E/xDOJv868ItEdRdNT_Lic0rLbIfHv1CsbACLcB/s1600/bb2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct4IEdBPZ_A/Vxowvy8K4FI/AAAAAAAAA9E/xDOJv868ItEdRdNT_Lic0rLbIfHv1CsbACLcB/s640/bb2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The banks of blue gave off their beautiful scent and the constant calls of the birds made the visit a feast for the senses.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aV1JytGDsKE/VxowwNA_aEI/AAAAAAAAA9M/DufSSXzXafQGNe8TAD6RfzR7gkrC68ivQCLcB/s1600/bb4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aV1JytGDsKE/VxowwNA_aEI/AAAAAAAAA9M/DufSSXzXafQGNe8TAD6RfzR7gkrC68ivQCLcB/s320/bb4.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>

<br />
The lack of leaves on the trees meant that it was quite bright and showed off all the flowers from those nearby right to those in the far distance.<br />
<br />
It was more impressive this way than in the dappled shade that is usually the scene when I visit a bit later in the season.<br />
<br />
There was also a greater abundance of flowers other than bluebells.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wood anemones and primroses were common and I found a couple of early purple orchids on the bank of a stream.<br />

I found this grub when tending to my leaf mould pile. The pile
was made up with the 2014 autumn leaves and has been undisturbed since
then. The grub is about 5cm long. I am unsure whether it is the larva of
a stag beetle or a cockchafer since I get both species emerging in the
garden in early summer.</div>

Both of these caterpillars walked across in front of me one afternoon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first is a pine hawk moth, <i>hyloicus pinastri</i>. Unsurprisingly, I was standing under a pine tree when I saw it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uzNn16HZNMA/VlXdM8_lvNI/AAAAAAAAA7c/Ye15uGBRVXg/s1600/%2BPale%2BTussock%2BMoth%2Bcaterpillar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uzNn16HZNMA/VlXdM8_lvNI/AAAAAAAAA7c/Ye15uGBRVXg/s320/%2BPale%2BTussock%2BMoth%2Bcaterpillar.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The second is a pale tussock moth, <span class="zero-f"><i>calliteara pudibunda</i>. This feeds on a range of shrubs, so I don't know which it eats in my garden.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now to the fungi! It seems to have been a particularly prolific year for them here. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uN6C49XJ674/VlXh3nXOLEI/AAAAAAAAA8M/uM3rUxAPkKE/s1600/polypore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uN6C49XJ674/VlXh3nXOLEI/AAAAAAAAA8M/uM3rUxAPkKE/s320/polypore.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
A birch polypore has appeared on the same tree as <a href="http://petraswalks.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/autumn-in-birches.html" target="_blank">last year.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dZmhTTrI298/VlXh1QwakvI/AAAAAAAAA78/WDob9W7_AUs/s1600/connatum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dZmhTTrI298/VlXh1QwakvI/AAAAAAAAA78/WDob9W7_AUs/s320/connatum.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
These are new to me. There is a huge number of these growing in one of my raised beds. I believe they are white domecaps, <i>lyophyllum connatum</i>. I think some spores must have come in with the compost.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6AEZUiBYf2o/VlXh0mCeBZI/AAAAAAAAA70/eSsIU3YozcA/s1600/Bolete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6AEZUiBYf2o/VlXh0mCeBZI/AAAAAAAAA70/eSsIU3YozcA/s320/Bolete.jpg" width="320" /></a>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have five or six of these around my grassed areas. I am fairly sure that they are boletes, <i>boletus cisalpinus</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The blue staining in the cut stem and the bruised pores are indicative of this species.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Another common one. There are lots of these common earthballs around the garden. They seemed to start really early this year and I have never seen so many before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These are not the only fungi in the garden. There are several others. Small ones in the grass and huge clumps on the old tree stumps, but I have not got round to recording all of them! Perhaps I'll photograph a different set next year.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920585320767114234.post-63610390603415293512015-08-27T21:22:00.000+01:002015-08-28T23:19:34.944+01:00This week's findsStill getting some sun between the showers so bugs and butterflies are still around the garden.<br />

There have been a few holly blues spending some time here. They were usually looking for nectar sources. One, pictured left, liked the veronica, while another, right, seemed to prefer heather.<br />
<br />
<br />

I have pictured a few bugs on the blog this year. Up to now, they have all been adults but I've found some nymphs lately. The first one, left, is a very early stage of the hawthorn shieldbug, <i>acanthosoma haemorrhoidale. </i>The nymphs go through about five stages called instars. They moult their skin at the end of each stage.<i> </i>The nymph here is tiny (only 2-3 mm long) and is probably a first instar.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="editable meta-field photo-desc ">
Below is another nymph. This time it's a much later instar, probably fourth, of the common green shieldbug, <i>palomena prasina</i>. It appears to be feeding on the pollen of a cosmos flower but that may be misleading as they are meant to live on sap from trees and shrubs.</div>

This woodpecker is living up to his name. He is pecking lots of holes in this dead birch tree. Some are big enough for him to get right inside the tree. Others are smaller and shallower. Is he creating nest holes or are the holes just ways of getting to the wood boring beetle larvae that must surely inhabit the decaying wood? He (or another male) made a deep hole last year but did not use it as a nest.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
Another invasive foreigner here. This is the rhododendron leafhopper, <i>graphocephala fennahi.</i> It was introduced into Europe from the USA in the early 1900s. This one is an adult.<br />
<br />
Both adult and nymph feed on the sap of rhododendron bushes. So it is one of the very few pests of rhododendrons. Some people would say we could do with a few more!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5AQw8KBkHLM/Vc0mYDp3RgI/AAAAAAAAA50/CbEcgD-6BJc/s1600/skater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5AQw8KBkHLM/Vc0mYDp3RgI/AAAAAAAAA50/CbEcgD-6BJc/s320/skater.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The pond skater, <i>gerris lacustris</i>, is another bug. These insects are carnivorous, preying mainly on other insects which fall onto the water surface. They rely on surface tension and non-wetting legs to walk on the water.<br />

Freshly emerged overnight, two female common darters were still sitting
on the bushes near the pond at midday today. From the evidence of their
exuviae, left on the water iris stems, there must have been a third
somewhere!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920585320767114234.post-70920759138147395582015-08-08T18:39:00.000+01:002015-08-08T18:39:49.197+01:00Bug and butterfly<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_TQvQFR182k/VcY-NRpn0RI/AAAAAAAAA40/gOlJaGGspLU/s1600/rlsb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_TQvQFR182k/VcY-NRpn0RI/AAAAAAAAA40/gOlJaGGspLU/s640/rlsb.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />

I found this bug yesterday in the garden. It's a red legged shieldbug, <i>pentatoma rufipes</i>. The nymphs live on oak trees so it's not surprising really since there are oak trees overhanging the garden. <br />
<br />

I found this toad in my garage today. It seemed to be trapped in there so I brought it out and it walked off happily into the undergrowth near the pond.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe it has friends in the garden. I hope so. I have an excess of slugs and snails which could do with some natural control.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920585320767114234.post-39299102806052481672015-07-19T18:49:00.000+01:002015-07-19T18:49:20.926+01:00Today at the pond<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUoC7OSQZe4/VavineJjO4I/AAAAAAAAA4E/JFDu6zqdBlI/s1600/darters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUoC7OSQZe4/VavineJjO4I/AAAAAAAAA4E/JFDu6zqdBlI/s320/darters.jpg" width="175" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xSsk-_J78Qg/VavimFGrQxI/AAAAAAAAA38/owVt528rgG8/s1600/BTdamsel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xSsk-_J78Qg/VavimFGrQxI/AAAAAAAAA38/owVt528rgG8/s320/BTdamsel.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
I noticed a blue tailed damselfly, <span class="field-content"><i>ischnura elegans</i>,</span> at the pond today. That's only the second one I've seen. This one is a female of the violet form. <br />

Today I found three exuviae of common darters on the leaves of my water iris. So the pond has successfully bred common darters along with a host of azure damsels and large red damsels.<br />

I don't think I have ever seen such a mass of bluebells before.</div>

Let's hope these woods are preserved for the future.</div>

I've never come across these before. They are egg masses laid by a water snail, <i>Lymnaea stagnalis</i>, sometimes known as the the great pond snail. My garden pond is full of these snails this year and there are large quantities of the egg masses laid on leaves which have fallen in the water.<br />
<br />
When out of the water the egg masses look like transparent jellies, up to about an inch long. <br />
<br />
There can be up to 120 eggs in each mass! So plenty of snails next year.

After my walk on Chantry Hill I was relaxing in the evening in my garden when I noticed a little visitor on one of my birdfeeders.<br />
<br />
It looks like it was a yellow necked mouse. It was bigger than the usual wood mice that we see. It enjoyed a good meal of sunflower seeds.<br />

A sunny day on Monday, so a walk on the downs. There was plenty to see. A fox carrying a mouthful of freshly caught prey; ravens, kestrel and buzzards; yellowhammers and tree pipits; grey partridges running; skylarks singing. The grass was full of violets and cowslips. The blackthorn was in full flower. I met two lizards, running across my foot! So much to see, it's a place I'll be going again.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
