Ballachurry Reserve, 12th July 2021 Incidental Report:

My husband and I visited the reserve unexpectedly on Monday to do a couple of jobs that had cropped up. While there I noted the following:

SC209694 hybrid duck; Moorhen with 2 chicks.

SC210694 Marmalade Hoverfly on notice on gate.

With thanks to Steve Crellin for fly identification.
