Black Lacewing - Nothochrysa capitata - on an Elm along the Frome today. Quite widespread but not often recorded - seems to be no previous records in South Gloucestershire.
Possible Yellow-legged Gull near Cog Mill today? 1 Dipper, 1 Kingfisher, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Little Egret, 2 Mistle Thrush around Black Rocks.
Scarce Fungus Weevil, Platyrhinus resinosus, found at Black Rocks last week. Classified as nationally scarce but on the increase. Also known as the King Alfred’s Cake Weevil or Cramp Ball Weevil because the larvae develop inside the fungus.

Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of rivers? Sign this petition from @Right_2Roam calling for access reform this election. It's time we stopped being shut out of our own country! https://t.co/iA1VEifftL via @38degrees
