yesterday at Crymlyn Burrows
Very few insects at Pant Y Sais fen much to my surprise! A trip to Crymlyn Burows proved much more rewarding.

That sand wasp Ammophila occurs here on the Yaverland, IoW cliffs too but I've yet to see one carrying the prey - great shot.
Full on predator action Ian - You'd think the spider would have killed the wasp!
Great photos Ian and some nice records for CB.
