Visiting friends in Bournemouth for a few days so I surveyed their wild area in the garden. I noted Imperforate St John's wort, Corn Cockle and Scarlet Pimpernel.
The afternoon was spent at Arne RSPB reserve, noting Vipers Bugloss and more Scarlet Pimpernel. We checked a small pool not too far from the information point and I was excited to see Raft Spider. An Emperor dargonfly was having an arial battle with a four spotted chaser, but Blue tailed and Large Red damselflies kept low in the vegetation. The path back to the heath, containing Cross Leaved Heath, had a small colony of Wood Ants. As we crossed the heath we then saw and heard Dartford Warbler and Common Whitethroat. This brought us to two viewpoints enabling us to get good views of Spoonbill,
30 Day total now 72 species of Flora/Fauna. Bold names are those new to me this year
