Cheers Jimmy. Yes, wow, I didn't realise there were 25 different kinds recorded in the UK (I just tried looking up on UK Safari). I had it in my mind that there were only around half a dozen species. It shows how much I know :o)

Comparing a web search on B. lucorum to the photo I posted on Friday 23rd June it certainly seems you are right in it's id (and from that first pic alone, that was impressive!). I have also noticed a red-tailed species which seems to be common hereabouts.

I'll complete answering this tomorrow if I may, as I've gone and let the clock run away with me again :o)

Best Regards,
Tim
