The Cuckoo was calling in the same area again today, but still no luck locating him.

There were another 4 insects to add to the Downs list today – Common Tenthredopsis (Tenthredopsis nassata), a crane fly (Limonia phragmitidis), Hairy Shieldbug (Dolycoris baccarum) and the Tortoise Bug (Eurygaster testudinaria).

Latest appearances among the wildflowers are Creeping Cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans), Hedgerow Crane’s-bill (Geranium pyrenaicum), Rough Hawk’s-beard (Crepis biennis)), yet another of those yellow composites, and Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba minor).
