Dalgety Bay - Sunny Day Sweepin' the Clouds Away

So since the sun came out and the temperature shot above 20 I of course went on holiday for three days to the west coast. Very nice it was too. Good for family times but didn't do much for my totals.

Hopefully I'll score a Speckled Wood at lunchtime (a recent county addition and in my square, too). A couple of new flies for me which means my total lifers this year approaches 100. Can't be bad, plus two of those are noted as "wetland" species so raising hopes of other interesting stuff later. This is the weird and wonderful Baryphyma trifrons

I'll post final details of reaching the 700 tomorrow (that'll be that jinxed then!)
