The following entries are extracted from my personal NATURAL HISTORY DIARY which relates principally to observations in and around a number of Reserves and other localities in West Sussex, including our own garden. Weather permitting, we manage normally to make at least one 'expedition', each week. I hope that you will find these entries of interest and perhaps prompt you to visit some of these outstanding places yourself.
This web site was launched on 23 April 2001. To date, the following number of visitors have viewed these pages:

AUGUST 2004
12 August (Thursday):
A bright morning, with the thermometer standing at 66 Fahrenheit at 6.30. It had been down to 64 degrees overnight. Wind from the south-east and south, Force 3.
Two new intense weather systems look as though they are going to make life interesting for the peoples of the eastern states of the USA. Tropical Storm BONNIE is currently south of Louisiana. Forecasters reckon that it will move north-east, with wind speeds at 50 mph., and gusts up to 65 mph. Hurricane CHARLEY is currently moving north-west, just south of Cuba, but is reckoned to track north-east later, with wind speeds of 90 mph and gusts to 115 mph. Unlike Hurricane ALEX, both are unlikely to affect our weather, although hurricanes are often prone to change their minds - hence their female names!
10 August (Tuesday):
A grey start but soon clearing and becoming warm, sunny and very humid. Temperature at mid-day today, 68 Fahrenheit. A westerly wind, Force 1 and 2. Lots of sunshine today, but some cloud, too.
A TENAX hoverfly was on the ACHILLEAS, and a MYATHROPA FLOREA on our FENNEL. Hoverfly' numbers are general lower than they were, especially those of EPISYRPHUS BALTEATUS and SPHAEROPHORIA. A small VOLUCELLA ZONARIA appeared down the side of the house, nectaring at flowers. It flew from those on to PHLOX' flowers, before going on to BISTORT. After that, it disappeared entirely.
Quite a few BLUE TAILED DAMSELFLIES were around the Dragonfly Pond, today. After lunch, at least three ARBUSTORUM hoverflies were on the ACHILLEAS, also an HELOPHILUS. A TENAX was there, too, this one with more orange on it than this morning's insect. The thermometer had risen to 70 Fahrenheit by 2.30 in the afternoon.
A quiet evening, with high cloud. Cooling down nicely. Out at 9.15. Temperature 66 Fahrenheit: it had been up to 73 degrees during the day.
08 August (Sunday):
Not quite such a blue sky this morning. It was very warm, however, with a strong south-easterly/easterly wind, around Force 3 and perhaps higher. Out at 7.30 to read the temperatures: nudging 70 Fahrenheit. During the night it had dropped to 64 degrees. It seemed that the tropical air from Hurricane Alex had reached us overnight! As I checked the thermometers, a GREENFINCH was singing loudly.
Coming out of the garage, I ran into a SOUTHERN HAWKER. It was either coming to investigate the open door, or perhaps me. Anyway, it stopped in mid-flight within a couple of yards and then darted away over the Fish Pond. I did not see it again until I was filling the feeders down the side of the house, when it came close to me again and then settled on some foliage where it hung for a few seconds and was then away again. There was also a COMMON DARTER around the Fish Pond.
Worked in the front woodland area, dead-heading BUDDLEIAS. Incredibly humid. As I worked, I watched the various racemes of bloom. A few hoverflies came in to feed, among them several ERISTALIS ARBUSTORUM. The larvae can be fond in manure heaps and the like, the book tells me. We don't have any of these environments close at hand, so my insects must have come some distance.
Late morning, a VOLUCELLA ZONARIA came in through an open window and bombed around the Conservatory for some time. It did not seem capable of finding its own way out, so I caught it gently in a butterfly net and released it outside.
Butterflies in the garden this morning included a few HOLLY BLUES, some SMALL and GREEN-VEINED WHITES and the occasional LARGE WHITE. Several HEDGE BROWNS appeared.
Around lunch-time, I had excellent views of a bumble-bee mimic - MERODON EQUESTRIS. It was not easy, but I managed some close-range images as the insect perched on vegetation and the top of a cane by the Fish Pond. Unfortunately, the wind was moving the vegetation all the time so photography was mostly a trial and not a few errors! I had not seen this hoverfly for quite some time. It was the all-black form with a buff tail. I watched it for some time as it hovered beautifully over the Pond. Close by I had a SCAEVA PYRASTRI hoverfly which was around the golden-yellow RUDBECKIA.
By lunch-time, the thermometer had risen to 74 Fahrenheit. A very small MYATHROPA FLOREA was nectaring at the ACHILLEAS, also an HELOPHILUS hoverfly.
A hot and very sticky afternoon. I spent most of it indoors, editing images from our Arundel visit, then printing out. I managed to finish by 7 o'clock in the evening.
Top temperature today, 77 Fahrenheit. At dusk a very humid 74 degrees. The forecast is for heavy rain overnight tonight, continuing through tomorrow morning.
07 August (Saturday):
A cloudless and windless morning with the thermometer standing at 58 Fahrenheit at 6.30. It had dropped to 56 degrees overnight. As I read the thermometers, a WILLOW-CHIFF was calling somewhere down the lane.
Two SCAEVA PYRATHRI hoverflies were at the BRONZE FENNEL' flowers this morning, a morning of really hot sunshine. A MYATHROPA FLOREA was feeding at the flowers of our ASTRANTIAS. Butterflies were few, apart from a few GREEN-VEINED WHITES which were passing through the garden, also a scattering of HEDGE BROWNS. There are few signs of dragonfly' movement so far, but a female or teneral COMMON DARTER was around the Fish Pond.
I spent most of the afternoon watering the back garden, moving on into the front woodland area after tea. As I did so, I disturbed a fine VOLUCELLA ZONARIA from the BUDDLEIA by the front door where it had been nectaring.
As Ann was going out of the front gates this afternoon, she smelt a FOX.
By just after 9.30 this evening it was quite dark. The temperature stood at 57 Fahrenheit. It had hit 74 degrees during the day.
06 August (Friday):
A distinctly cool morning, but with a largely cloudless sky. Temperature 62 Fahrenheit. Lowest overnight: 60 degrees.
A brief call at Wyevale near Chichester this morning revealed lots of hoverflies including SCAEVA PYRASTRI and SPHAEROPHORIA (Sp). There was also a large and dark hoverfly with marked wing shades - ERISTALIS PERTINAX.
Back home, just before lunch, a party of SWALLOWS went over, calling and moving south-west into the wind. Clearly, they were migrating. A lone SCAEVA PYRASTRI was nectaring at BUDDLEIA and a MYATHROPA FLOREA was investigating ACHILLEAS. The shade temperature by this time was 72 degrees. Lots of BLUE-TAILED DAMSELS were on the wing. A male COMMON DARTER, probably the same one as seen yesterday, was over the Fish Pond.
05 August (Thursday):
Out at 6.30: a nice, cool morning. Grey but with a hint of blue above. Temperature this morning, 66 Fahrenheit. That had also been the lowest temperature overnight. As I looked around the garden, a ROBIN tuned up with typical autumn' song. A COAL TIT was also singing.
Home most of the day. Spent some time in the garden, looking around from time to time. One of our VOLUCELLA ZONARIA hoverflies was out at the front again, sunning itself on HAZEL' leaves, also nectaring at BUDDLEIA' racemes. The usual collection of hoverflies was around on the various flowers, including no fewer than three SCAEVA PYRASTRI which were feeding at the FENNEL. Pyrastri is a noted migrant.
A male COMMON DARTER paid us a visit just after .lunch, disappearing as quickly as it had arrived. We had, also, a female or teneral over the Fish Pond.
Worked at the computer most of the afternoon, bringing this Diary up to date. The task was long overdue! The weather remained excellent, very warm and sunny.
Late evening, I went out to read the temperatures, as usual: current 68 Fahrenheit; highest today 75 degrees. Several SILVER-Y moths were feeding around HEBES and other plants down the side of the house.
Checking the TV News today, I noted that Hurricane ALEX, which has been tracking north-eastwards across the Atlantic, will shortly be making its presence felt. Conditions are likely to be windy, but, more important perhaps, the motion of the weather system will bring lots of hot air from a south-easterly quarter, coming across Europe and over the U.K.
04 August (Wednesday):
A nice bright morning. Out at 6 o'clock. Feeling cooler (thank goodness!). Temperature at 6 o'clock, 64 Fahrenheit: it had been down to down to 62 degrees overnight.
Out shopping this morning. Very warm indeed and we were pleased to get back for a cold drink. Spent much of the day watering, again. And not only the pots this time, but virtually everything else, besides. The temperature rose to 72 Fahrenheit at lunch-time.
Out of interest, I placed the thermometers out in the open sunshine after lunch. It was not long before they were showing a high of 122 Fahrenheit.
Lots of HOVERFLIES around again, today: SPHAEROPHORIA SCRIPTA, MYATHROPA FLOREA, EPISYRPHUS BALTEATUS; SCAEVA PYRASTRI (2).
 |
|---|
Quite a few LARGE WHITES around the garden during the afternoon, also SMALL and GREEN-VEINED.
Temperature at dusk, 68 Fahrenheit.
03 August (Tuesday):
After a sultry night, a partly cloudy, partly sunny day. Temperature 68 Fahrenheit first thing. Down to 62 overnight. No wind.
Very hot indeed, today, with the shade temperature climbing to 76 Fahrenheit. Out in the direct sunshine, much higher than that, of course! At times, direct sunshine temperatures were probably exceeding 100 degrees.
Spent much of the day. All this relatively sedentary activity gave me plenty of time to look around me, of course! The most obvious signs of wildlife were the myriads of HOVERFLIES. Many of the flowering plants seem to have reached their most productive as far as nectar and pollen are concerned. The ACHILLEAS, for instance, were attracting an abundance of EPISTROPHE BALTEATUS. A FENNEL was heaving with SPHAEROPHORIA hoverflies, presumably SCRIPTA. Likewise, a newly-flowering GARDEN MINT was covered with the last-named. Other hoverflies noted were: MYATHROPA FLOREA (at least three noted); ERISTALIS TENAX and also E.PERTINAX. At least two SCAEVA PYRASTRI were recorded.
Clearing along the edge of the Dragonfly Pond, I came across yet another empty larval case of an EMPEROR DRAGONFLY. This one was clutching the square stem of a MARSH WOUNDWORT. Earlier, I had been thrilled to see a vibrant male RUDDY DARTER which arrived over the Conservatory Border as I worked, hovered for a moment of two, and was soon gone.
Butterflies were frequent, today. Small numbers of SMALL and GREEN-VEINED WHITE were passing through, and we had frequent sightings of HOLLY BLUES. HEDGE BROWNS were noted, also the occasional MEADOW BROWN.
The usual stream of TITS were coming to the feeders, while a singing COAL TIT was rarely out of ear-shot. A WREN was feeding a youngster out in the front woodland area, somewhere. There was also a GOLDCREST singing feebly from time to time. It was interesting to note that yesterday's singing WILLOW WARBLERS had moved on: there were no signs of them.
A hurricane, ALEX, is coming up the east coast of the United States. Whether its affects will be felt here remain to be seen.
Evening temperature, at dusk, 69 Fahrenheit. Tops today, 76 degrees. As we went to bed, a female or perhaps juvenile TAWNY OWL was calling loudly around the house.
02 August (Monday):
A bright morning, with some interesting-looking 'tropical' clouds coming up from south. The wind at ground level, however, was easterly. Temperature at 6.30, 64 Fahrenheit. It had dropped to 62 degrees overnight.
Beautifully quiet this morning, so I wandered down the side of the house. As I watched the usual two DELICHOVESPULA wasps feeding at ECHIUM' blooms, a WILLOW WARBLER began to sing, a really delightful cadence of sad autumn song.
After breakfast I spent some time out at the front, pottering around in the new woodland area. Our VOLUCELLA ZONARIA was sunning itself on HAZEL and a MYATHROPA FLOREA hoverfly was nectaring at BUDDLEIA' blooms. A young WREN was calling somewhere amidst the thick tangle of BRAMBLES. Persevering, I managed to get an excellent series of pictures of the ZONARIA, including one which fills the frame.

After lunch, I began the chore of watering, again. As I did so, a SOUTHERN HAWKER paid us a visit, bombing around the garden at speed, before disappearing as quickly as it had arrived.
Adrian worked in the garden for some time today, working his way along the edge of the Dragonfly Pond. Here, he found part of a dragonfly' exuvia. It looks like that of an EMPEROR.
Ann noted two SWIFTS this morning, moving south, and I had a singleton just before tea, also moving in a southerly direction.
Top temperature today, 76 Fahrenheit. Temperature at dusk, 72 degrees.
01 August (Sunday):
A bright and sunny morning with an easterly, Force 1 - 2. Temperature at 7.30, 65 Fahrenheit. It had dropped to a warm 60 degrees overnight.
Just as we were about to depart to Arundel this morning, out at the front, in the small woodland area, I found a fine VOLUCELLA ZONARIA hoverfly. Luckily it stayed around for us to get some fine images. At one time, it was most curious about Adrian, hovering at head height, just in front of him. There was also a LEAF WARBLER which was calling, but not singing, so whether WILLOW WARBLER or CHIFFCHAFF I could not tell. Another hoverfly, nectaring at BUDDLEIA, was a MYATHROPA FLOREA. Two SPECKLED WOOD butterflies were good to see: they seem to have taken to this woodland area very well. A teneral or female COMMON DARTER appeared, but did not stay long. Another SPECKLED WOOD was in the side garden.
And so to Arundel where we parked in the Fitzalan car-park where there was plenty of space - not bad for a sunny Sunday' afternoon! The walk from there to the Castle was only five minutes or so. In the Castle' grounds we walked straight up the long drive and so into the car-park - where we might have parked had we known about it! A drink seemed to be in order (it was incredibly hot), before we explored the gardens. They were full of colour and packed with plants, both perennials and annuals and a goodly proportion of which we had difficulty identifying! NICANDRA was there, growing up to four feet or so, and described as a 'Black Fly deterrent'. I shall have to remember that!
Adrian and I took a lot of pictures, mostly of plants and 'landscapes'. Butterflies included HOLLY BLUES and masses of SMALL and LARGE WHITES. Indeed, I had not seen so many WHITES together since the late 1940s! They were simply everywhere and clearly drawn to the large vegetable garden. HEDGE BROWNS were visiting CHERRY PIES, and we saw a smart and brightly-coloured COMMA. SPHAEROPHORIA hoverflies were numerous.

We left the gardens, to find a seat where we could enjoy our packed lunches. There were none to be found, so we returned to the gardens as I recalled seeing a lady sitting on a seat which was tucked away where few would have found it. Fortunately, when we got there the seat was vacant. It was just large enough for the three of us. We sat, had our sandwiches and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of the place.
Onward then to the Fitzalan Chapel where we enjoyed the White Garden. All the flowering plants there were sporting white blossoms, although the hydrangeas struck me as being cream, rather than white. Into the Chapel which we visited 15 months ago when we were last here with Adrian.
Adrian wanted to visit the parish Church of St. Nicholas, so we left the Castle' grounds (hearing a TREECREEPER on the way) and walked up the hill, dodging rather too many people as we did so. It was hot, very hot. Never mind, we got to the Church which we looked around, but paid more attention to the graveyard where much has been left to the flora and fauna. HEDGE BROWNS and CABBAGE WHITES were in evidence everywhere. The flowers were typical of rough grassland on chalk. KNAPWEEDS were common, but rather uncommon was a splendid white-flowered version of which there were two or three plants, all together by the path.

And so back to the Fitzalan car-park. It was around 4 o'clock, so we decided to call it a day. It had been a very hot and wearing day, but we had all enjoyed it immensely.
I spent most of the evening watering. Many of the pots had dried out during the day, so were in desperate need of attention. Before starting my chores, I had a quick look around the garden and noted a VOLUCELLA ZONARIA near the old OAK' stump. It is the first time I have noted the species in this part of the garden.
Top shade temperature at home today, 76 Fahrenheit. Out on the open road, coming home, the car' thermometer had shown 86 degrees. Temperature in the garden at dusk: 70 degrees. As I read the thermometers, I noted very strange cloud' patterns, so strange that I studied them for quite some time.
A very few SILVER-Y moths were around the EVENING PRIMROSE' blooms this evening.
JULY 2004
31 July (Saturday):
A bright morning, but a lot of cloud around. Temperature just after 7 o'clock, 62 Fahrenheit. It had dropped to 57 degrees overnight.
As I wandered around the garden, two of the very large WASPS, DELICHOVESPULA MEDIA, were already at the ECHIUM' blooms. Although the florets attract other insects, too, like hoverflies, I shall be pleased when the flowers have faded! Apart from FIGWORT, these are the only blooms (so far!) on which I have seen DELICHOVESPULA MEDIA. Both seemed to fight, plunging to the ground and into the herbage faster than my eye could follow. Almost immediately they were back on the blooms. This set me wondering as to whether they were insects from different colonies.
A very busy morning, cutting back the HAZEL down the side of the house. This season it has grown to almost 15 feet, so it was time to take things in hand before our daylight into the dining room and lounge was obliterated completely! As we worked, Adrian found a WASPS' nest. Luckily, it was a nest of one of our 'ordinary' wasps, deep underground. We did not hang around to find which species exactly, but withdrew quietly for lunch!
After lunch, to Denman's, where we had a nice if rather hot afternoon. Indeed, it was very hot! The recent changes there have enabled them to fill the place with many more plants than would have been the case some years ago. Furthermore, the quality was good, too. We acquired half a dozen plants - RUBUS' brambles (the ones with the grey bark) and a different MARJORAM. The last I am hoping will entice yet more hoverflies into the garden.
Wildlife in the garden was scarce. We had two male EMPEROR DRAGONFLIES over one of the ponds, and a SOUTHERN HAWKER which joined us as we had a drink in the open-air part of the restaurant. The calls of BUZZARDS drew our attention to a pair which were displaying over woodland north of the A27.
Top temperature in the garden today, 76 Fahrenheit. At dusk the thermometer was standing at 69 degrees. As darkness closed in, a few SILVER-Y moths were visiting the EVENING PRIMROSES.
30 July (Friday):
A grey start (after a little overnight rain), but soon becoming sunny and very warm. Temperature first thing, 65 Fahrenheit. It had dropped to 63 degrees overnight. Our GREEN WOODPECKER was calling as I came in from the garden.
As Ann drew the upstairs' curtains this morning, she found she was looking down on a HUMMINGBIRD HAWK-MOTH which was investigating foliage in one of our woodland' areas. By the time I had sprinted out of the front door, the insect had decided to drop on to foliage of our FIR tree. There, we were able to inspect it at leisure through binoculars. It was still there, resting we suspect, as we left, but had vanished half an hour or so later. Perhaps it had arrived overnight.
29 July (Thursday):
A nice and quiet morning. Bright sunshine and blue skies. An easterly wind, Force 1 - 2. Temperature at 06.30, 64 Fahrenheit. It had been down to 62 degrees overnight.
Shopping this morning. Then home via Bersted, where we noted a teneral or female COMMON DARTER, to spend the day watering. This I did - pretty well all day. With so many plants, it is now becoming quite a chore! I concentrated all morning on the front woodland areas. While I was doing so, a VOLUCELLA ZONARIA was noted nectaring at BUDDLEIA' racemes.
A very warm afternoon, although, as per the forecast, the sky became very hazy! While wielding the hose, I was able to note innumerable HOLLY BLUE butterflies which passed through the garden. WHITES of all three species were noted, especially SMALL and GREEN-VEINED. LARGE WHITES were infrequent. HEDGE BROWNS appeared in small numbers. Looking up from time to time, I noted many SWIFTS going over, moving south-west. A fully-coloured male COMMON DARTER appeared around the Fish Pond. A pair of LONG-TAILED TITS came through the garden.
Evening temperature: 65 Fahrenheit. Highest today: 73 degrees.
28 July (Wednesday):
 |
|---|
Up early. A bright morning with a very light south-easterly wind Force 1 and less. Out at 7.30: temperature 60 Fahrenheit. Down to 54 overnight. A GREEN WOODPECKER was calling in alarm as I looked at the thermometers. Later, I saw it climbing the trunk of a MACROCARPA tree.
A VOLUCELLA ZONARIA was sunbathing on HAZEL' leaves out in the front woodland area this morning. A COAL TIT was singing vigorously in one of our MACROCARPAS. Just before lunch, I noted an HELOPHILUS' hoverfly nectaring at red ACHILLEA' blooms. Several HOLLY BLUES were noted as they passed through the garden.
The high cloud which we had had for much of the morning eventually moved away and so we had hot sunshine as we drove over to Brian's in Chichester. Not much natural history there, just a few CABBAGE WHITES and a SPECKLED WOOD.
At six o'clock, the temperature was topping 72 Fahrenheit: earlier it had reached 74 degrees. Hundreds of BLACK-HEADED GULLS were patrolling the skies, presumably taking flying ants.
Dusk temperature: 68 degrees.
27 July (Tuesday):
Looking out of our bedroom' window first thing this morning, while enjoying a cup of tea, I was startled to see a juvenile male SPARROWHAWK which zipped by within a few yards. It was pursuing what looked like a GREENFINCH.
High overcast this morning, but with the promise of sunshine to come. Feeling cool, yet again. Out to read the thermometers just after 7 o'clock. Temperature this morning, 59 Fahrenheit, having been down to 54 overnight. Hardly any wind this morning.
Spent the morning in the garden. It's all looking rather nice, now, with lots of colour and most plants flourishing. Lots of LARGE, SMALL and GREEN-VEINED WHITES appeared, also a scattering of HOLLY BLUES. A COAL TIT was singing nicely.
The sunshine which we had expected materialised just before lunch, and jolly hot it was, too. All looked promising, so we decided to go over to Burton Mill for the afternoon. As we drove up the Bognor/Chichester Road, however, it became obvious that the sunshine was to be of short duration, at least over the Downs and beyond. So, heading west along the A27, we made for Hayling Island which seemed to be a better bet. And indeed it was. Although the sun was largely veiled by a high overcast for most of the time, we had an excellent afternoon in the vicinity of the old Oyster Beds. It had been some considerable time since I had been there, and parking/access is so much better now.
Although birds seemed to be rather scarce, we soon built up an interesting list: GOLDFINCH; LINNET; WILLOW-CHIFF (2, calling); RINGED PLOVER (2): WHIMBREL (calling); LITTLE EGRET (c9); COMMON and SANDWICH TERNS; CORMORANT; REDSHANK (more than 30, arriving to roost); COMMON WHITETHROAT (2); SWALLOW (at least 6 passing through); and GREEN WOODPECKER (calling).
Butterflies were numerous: SMALL and GREEN-VEINED WHITE; RED ADMIRAL (1, rather worn): MEADOW and HEDGE BROWNS; COMMA; either SMALL or ESSEX SKIPPERS; and two SMALL COPPERS.
The plants were good, too: SEA LAVENDER (on the foreshore); SEA CARROT; SCARLET PIMPERNEL; VIPER'S BUGLOSS; GREATER KNAPWEED; MARJORAM; FLEABANE; SCABIOUS, and two species of MELILOTUS, one yellow, the other white. There were several large stands of WELD. An attractive UMBELLIFER had umbels of yellow blooms.
Areas of grass, much of it dry, produced swarms of GRASSHOPPERS, many of them nymphs Unfortunately, we were unable to pin down the species. A THICK-LEGGED FLOWER BEETLE was noted and special attention paid to the innumerable HOVERFLIES. EPISYRPHUS BALTEATUS were everywhere, but the most numerous by far were the numbers of SPAEROPHORIA, presumably SCRIPTA. A notable find by Ann were of two pairing. With luck, I managed to get a couple of images before they took off and disappeared.
And so back home, after a splendid afternoon of natural history in an area unknown to us in the summer months. Recalling previous visits, I've only ever been there in winter, largely to see Black-necked Grebes. So, a summer' visit was always going to be a different proposition.
Dusk temperature was 66 Fahrenheit. Highest today was 72 degrees.

25 July (Sunday):
A nice bright summer's morning Cool, again. 58 Fahrenheit at 7 o'clock; down to 54 degrees overnight. Virtually no wind. What there was, was westerly, Force 1 and less. Going out to the front gates, I found a VOLUCELLA ZONARIA on foliage by the entrance to the drive. Later, I had two of the very large WASPS - DOLICHOVESPULA MEDIA, which were visiting the blooms of our ECHINOPS down the side of the house. They had black abdomens with narrow golden rings and looked most intimidating.
A bright and sunny day, today, but with quite a strong south-westerly during the afternoon, Force 5 and 6. So, not as warm as it might have been. Wind easing off in the late evening.
Temperature at dusk, 64 Fahrenheit. Highest today, 70 degrees.
