Amwell visit

A few hours at Amwell NR this afternoon to see if there were any signs of vis mig. 3 common sandpipers were present, all newly arrived and the first wigeon of the Autumn was also recorded. A spotted flycatcher, garden warbler, willow warbler and several common terns were also noteworthy.
A trip around the dragonfly trail gave views of common darter (photos 1 and 2) migrant hawker. Brown hawker and common blue damselfly (3.) A solitary comma (4), several large and small whites and red admirals were the only butterflies. An unusal bee caught my attention, nectaring on teasel, a Psithyrus sylvestris, I think!
