For what it's worth, it hasn't been much better here, even though we have had some dry spells, and a little sun...
The forecast for the week ahead doesn't bode well..... Keep 'em brollies at the ready, sowesters and other water proofing stuff.....

Managed a few insects on the walk yesterday. Still no butterflies about and not many birds ... . All taken using the EF 70-300L from about a metre away (shortest focus), as of course I didn't have my macro with me ...
Caspid Bug - Macrolophus Caliginosus
Snipe Fly - Rhagio Vitripennis
Pelucid Hoverfly - Volucella Pellucens
Of course, they could all be something totally different ...
Isn't the variety of "stuff" simply fabulous
