Gibside

 Around the middle of last month my wife and I had a short walk around the National Trust property Gibside. The weather was sunny and quite warm which made for a canny walk. I again took loads of photos of the wildlife we saw, and I am struggling to identify a few of the insects so any help (and corrections) would be gratefully received.

The Roe Deer and its fawn calmly walked onto the path unfazed by the visitors walking around.

The female checking me out.

The fawn was a little skittish.

However, it stayed on the path for quite a while.

Forest/Red-legged Shieldbug.

Final instar Common Green Shieldbug.

These next few images are the ones with which I am struggling. They could be Digger Wasps but I’m not sure.

Hoverfly?

7-spot Ladybird.

Another 7-spot.

Damsel Bug.

Orb Web Spider.

Migrant Hawker?

I thought at first Ruddy but looking at the colour of the legs I now think Common Darter.

Little Grebe.

Gibside would not be Gibside if there were no Red Kites flying over.

Buzzard.

Burdon Moor

Roe Deer at Burdon Moor. I saw five in total, a pair in the field on the right as you walk from the carpark and a mother with two fawns near the top of the loop.

Female Roe Deer.

Roe Buck.

You can just make out one of the fawns with this other female.

I was standing well away from her on the other side of the loop behind a bush using an 800mm lens but as you can see, she knew I was there so she left her youngsters in the long grass and jumped the fence. She would have come back to them later.

Grasshopper Warbler.

Goldfinch.

Arnside Knott Cumbria

Yesterday I went to Arnside Knott in Cumbria looking for butterflies. There were very few about however I did get another first for me in the form of a Brimstone. Other butterflies seen were Red Admiral, Small Heath and Large White but I did not get any shots of these. One I did manage to get a shot of was a Speckled Wood, which looked worse for wear.
While getting the shots of the Brimstone a large Dragonfly flew past and then landed near by enabling me to get a couple of shots (Alan what is it?). I also accidentally disturbed a couple of Roe Deer fawns that were hiding in the grass; they ran off briefly stopping to look back. I had a macro lens with me at the time so I only got distant shots.
At least half a dozen Spotted Flycatcher were flying about, they were always distant but I did get some not very good shots.
Grasshoppers were hopping all over the grass, as they do, and one stayed still long enough for me to get a shot.
