We have had some rotten weather here lately ..heavy rain on friday and yesterday there was occasional sunshine so I thought I would have a look.
After wandering flooded paths for a few hours I had not been down before and seeing Speckled Woods..(too much dog poo,one dobermann,two staffs and several other dogs that made me jump out my skin).Holly Blues,the first ever Hornet I have ever seen and they are MASSIVE

I FINALLY found a newly hatched Heath waiting for it's wings to straighten hanging on some cow wheat.

Once I eventually got my camera set up there must have been at least 30 Heaths flying,emerging or mating and it was a brilliant sight!
Im sure it more luck with the amount I saw..I thought at the time how an these be so rare if there is so many??
These were truly fascinating to watch go about their very busy business.
I went back today to the same spot to try and take some better photos..didn't see any!?!
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Photos below include a pair together which then went on to be mating?
If anyone can tell me if they know the difference between male/female that would be appreciated
Regards
Steve
