After a very full on weekend I am now on 3804 species and in serious need of a few beers. However, the latest addition to my list is this gorgeous tachinid, Gonia picea. I was shown this early spring species by Chris Bentley at Castle Water, Rye Harbour today and Chris showed me how to identify it in the field. We did lots of recording and I saw a number of other new species too but that will have to wait until tomorrow...
