Had the traditional swallowtail hunt to Norfolk yesterday (I try to keep annual missions to mammals and birds to keep room for new stuff but swallowtails are an exception!). Day was split between Strumpshaw Fen, Lakenheath Fen (just over into Suffolk), and Weeting Heath. Mainly an invert day but Weeting Heath was added to provide some burhinid interest and Lakenheath finally dragged a certain species off the heard list to the seen list, where it belongs (and produced my second bittern in eight days).

Got a few pending IDs on inverts from the last few weeks that I'll hopefully be able to add in due course - having a father trained in such matters opens up a few I wouldn't be able to ID myself (mainly beetles and hoverflies)!

181. Common Grasshopper Warbler - Locustella naevia
182. Eurasian Stone Curlew - Burhinus oedicnemus

(UK: 180)

Invertebrates:

47. Blotch-winged Hoverfly - Leucozona lucorum

I had a field excursion to France (not Asia, so I'm not disqualified!) with a focus on inverts. Therefore the birdy aditions are few, but the lifer is also an entire new order for me. Luckely I have a lot of new mostly marine inverts to make up for that. Because it was a field excursion we also collected animals but I only counted the ones I saw in the field. I also finally have a fish, and a very good one at that!

Birds
179. Whinchat [Saxicola rubreta]
180. Northern fulmar [Fulmarus glacialis]

Fish
1. Small-spotted catshark [Scyliorhinus canicula]

Invertebrates *
66. 22-spot ladybird [Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata]
67. Hoverfly [Helophilus pendulus]
68. Marine snail [Melaraphe neritoides]
69. Common periwinkle [Littorina littorea]
70. Rough periwinkle [Littorina saxatilis]
71. Beadlet anemone [Actinia equina]
72. Marine snail [Gibbula cineraria]
73. Dog whelk [Nucella lapillus]
74. Japanese shore crab [Hemigrapsus anguineus]
75. Common grey sea slug [Aeolidia papillosa]
76. flat top shell [Gibbula umbilicalis]

98. Sea potato [Echinocardium cordatum]
99. Sea slater [Ligia oceanica]
100. Common hermit crab [Pagurus bernhardus]
101. Common blue [Polyommatus icarus]

It is a diverse list with no less than 8 different flya. I don't expect to add any later but a few are identified to genus level so I may find out to which species they belong.

* I'm not entirely sure about the last dragonfly so I removed it.
** The ones in the North sea are part of the brachydactyla split right?
