I have just been visiting the Roman Circus site near Colchester. It is very quiet but an interesting place to visit to understand the place of Colchester as a Roman capital.

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

Today's Wall Browns at Great Holland pits . Small numbers have appeared now for 3 years. If I remember correctly the previous colonies finally dwindled to nothing in 2008, having been very regular.

I am delighted that I had not 1 but 2 Wall Brown is. The female rebuffed the male as far as I can see, she was previously mated. She went on apparently laying eggs.

European hornet apparently after pollen. I sometimes wonder if the hang around Ivy for ambushing bees, butterflies or wasps but this was after pollen. Cannot take nectar I think.

Sea Aster in an unusual form I think. The flowers, which are petalled, are outside the sea wall, where they would normally have no petals, and the flowers are clustered. I saw no Sea Aster, mining bees.
