Kidney Spot Ladybirds

Saturday, September 18th 2010

Sandra filling the bird feeders

Sandra was busy this morning filling the bird feeders. Hopefully the weather will be as nice tomorrow as it was today and the bird ringers will be able to put some nets out.

A new ladybird to the reserve was discovered today. These stunning Kidney-spot ladybirds (and what appears to be their larvae) were basking on the trunk of an Ash tree not far from the Field Centre!
