A BIT OF A BLOW AT THE HOE

Although the wind was not as strong as yesterday it was still blowin a hoolie, but had swung round to the west so the waves were not overtopping the wall,which was open today.
Four grey wagtails were a bit of a surprise on the seawall,but four wheatears weren`t,nothing much on the sea considering the blustery conditions just three Med gulls of any note.
WHEATEARS ON THE WALL.

As promised a couple of weeks ago some better wasp spider photos were obtained today when the sun shone.
FEMALE WASP SPIDER
Like many spiders she likes a snack after mating,unluckily for the male he`s usually on the menu.
On the subject of sex,the Adonis Blue was caught in the act,not far from the wasp spider,it all happens at the Hoe you know.

ADONIS BLUE MALE

ADONIS BLUE FEMALE.

MENAGE A TROIS.
.


Although two are coupled the second male does not give up.
This colony of mining bees is at the west end of the Hoe and according to my insect book there are about 60  different species in britain,so if anybody can identify this one or would like to come and see for themselves be my guest.
