Wildlife News: The second Rosemary Beetle for the Recording Area was on planted Rosemary near the Crazy Golf. At least 25 Marsh Helleborine are still in flower but the Autumn Ladys-tresses are now mostly over. The majority of the Ivy is still not in flower so Ivy Bee remain scarce/difficult to find but a late Hornet Hoverfly Volucella zonaria was amongst the regular late fly species.
