Recent insect sightings included Brown Argus 1, Broad Bodied Chaser male, Red Admiral 1, Dingy Skipper 13 and Large Skipper 2 on June 1st. (Chris Parkin)
Today June 3rd
3 Buzzards circled above as 3 old Crows that included Russ Boland, Chris Parkin and me, digging and reducing one of the smaller islands. The hope is to create enough muddy/bare habitat to entice waders to return on autumn passage, a type of habitat we haven't had for some years.
This beetle appeared in a house in Cudworth last night, is it the Larder Beetle? (Dermestes lardaria) One for Oxycera to identify I think.

Hi Ciiff
Looks like Creophilus maxillosus,
only the second Barnsley record.

Thanks John. It was found by Chris Parkin in his home on Barnsley Rd Cudworth last night
