An exploration of the rich insect life in the old cemetery. If it is sunny or bright we should see many and various pollinating insects, including burrowing and other solitary bees, bumble bees, hoverflies, bee-fly including maybe the Spotted Bee-fly, small moths and butterflies. If cloudier we will concentrate more on what insects, spiders, and other invertebrates we can coax out of the trees, shrubs, and grassland, these will include shield-bugs and ladybirds. There should be plenty of other spring wildlife to see including flowering trees and singing birds too. Magnifying lenses or binoculars may be useful. Please bring warm or waterproof clothing, if required, and stout footwear.
