SP5595ish - A few More

A busy weekend, with parental duties dominating and both Friday and Saturday evenings spent in good company whilst I hosted two indoor meetings for the Leics. & Rutland Ornithological Society. Managed to get out into the square for a quick couple of hours on Saturday afternoon, still generally mooching about rather than concentrating in one spot and digging everything up and out. Turned a few stones, damp branches and a dead Rabbit and managed to turn up a few more bits. A Goldcrest also added itself associating with Long-tailed Tits, and a moth early this evening is hopefully not going to be the only one recorded tonight.

New additions taking me to 120 with another agg. and a beetle that will hopefully be resolved. I'm also awaiting comment on another lichen.

There can be few things in life so damned infuriating as trying to photograph a live lively small beetle indoors in a glass dish. Sheesh! Managed eventually to get a few shots of this beetle which I am sure is one of the Catops sp., possibly C. grandicollis. c4mm long, found under a dead Rabbit. Click for big.
