Mousley Bottom Reserve - May

Situated alongside the River Goyt at New Mills, a diverse site but used heavily by dog walkers making it difficult to photograph anything low down without drawing the attention of several dogs! Having said that tho I have come across some good species here.

Images - Cricotopus species, Eutomostethus ephippium, Tryphon trochanteratus, Blue-tailed Damselfly, Empis stercorea, Cheilosia albitarsis agg, Thistle Tortoise Beetle, Cauchas rufimitrella, Cherrystone Beetle.
