    Mini micro for I/D

    Pretty worn, but what about Psychoides filicivora? I'm no expert but have had these to lures recently, 4/5mm f/w. Tony

    Nominees for the least intelligent bird in the world

    I agree with Pheasant but, for a native bird, Woodpigeon - similar road sense.

    Fair Isle Bird Obs Closing for Good?

    I agree. I wonder who prepared the budget for the present scheme? Design, build and also manage would be appropriate I suspect. A tender to establish the cost of preliminaries, mark-up etc to enable the ground rules to be laid down in advance would seem sensible.

    Fourth pic - how about Red Twin-spot Carpet? The ones I catch often rest (annoyingly) like that. Tony

    Mallorca 2020

    Very interesting account Hugh. We have been to Majorca several times starting in 1987 and always enjoyed our family and birding holidays Sadly we won't be able to visit again so it is good to follow this thread and it was also good to read about your experiences and the places you have been.

    Microscope advice

    I bought a microscope from Anglian Lepidopterists Supplies for dabbling with moth dissections. I chose 20x and 40x magnifications. It is pretty basic but does the job okay and is around £200.00 AJ06a is the model I think. More recently I have bought a compound microscope from Brunel for...

    Wildflower for ID

    Thanks aeshna5. No we have not put this on BSBI (not sure what this is as I’m mainly birding and moths!) We have sent it to the Gloucestershire County Botanical Recorder to get their view.

    Wildflower for ID

    I hadn’t realised that the plant is as extensive as it actually is; I thought it was growing through the “ferny” leaves but they are part of it. Ferny Corydalis (Corydalis chielanthifolia) has been suggested by a friend and that looks right. Thanks for putting us in the right area Ficedula, much...

    Thanks for that - certainly the flower looks a good match; here is another picture showing the leaf more clearly.

    Wildflower for ID

    Any chance of an ID for this plant flowering for the last couple of weeks on our gravel drive in Gloucestershire. We wondered if it was part of the Pea family?

    Bee Swarm, UK

    My wife took a general picture of a swarm (150?) of very active bees flying just above ground level over a neglected flower bed which was mainly exposed soil. Occasionally one would disappear underground into various entrance holes in the vertical edge of the adjacent lawn. This was yesterday...
