I will have to watch out for any of these in Hugset Wood. Just shows what's still waiting to be discovered.
Good stuff John

Another first for you John. I'll keep a lookout for it, now I know what to look for.

Cheers Cliff, be good to find one at the marsh.

Hi Alwyn, looking around Blackthorn might be the best bet at the moment.

Hi John,

I was watching one of these on Haw Park Lane, Wintersett this afternoon.
Only managed to get a poor record shot.
