| Common Blue, Polyommatus icarus |
On Tuesday I joined Mark Colvin at Kithurst Meadow where I saw Common Blues, Brimstone, Small Blues and a Meadow Brown. Moths: Burnet Companions, Dark Strawberry Tortrix, Grass Rivulets, Cnephasia tortrix. Plenty of Common Spotted Orchids and Orchid Beetles were around.
On Wednesday we visited the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, for a template biopsy, the latest stage in the investigation into my prostate cancer. It was day surgery at their specialist urology clinic and I cannot speak too highly of the whole experience. This was the NHS at its best. This procedure followed an MRI earlier in the year which showed possible problems which could only be investigated by this second biopsy. I should know the results in two weeks. I may need treatment after that.
Today I did my Mill Hill transect: Adonis Blue 9, Brimstone, Common Blue 2, Meadow Brown, Painted Lady, Small Heath 10, Small Tortoiseshell, Silver Y, Cinnabar 2, Burnet Companion, Common Yellow Conch, Straw-barred Pearl. Plus a black adder.
