20th Oct. 1941.
A fine sunny day!  The ♂︎ Bombus agrorum again seen in garden, & quite lively on almost the last flower of Centaurea scabiosa: 14 Clareville Rd., DU.


22nd Oct. 1941.
The third almost perfect autumn day in succession:  nearly all sunny, with gentle but keen NWW breeze.  In afternoon rode to Glenasmole & then went up path from upper dam towards Glenasmole school & along top of coombs & into the "willow-glade" now greatly overgrown & hardly recognisable.  Swept here & there, but few insects taken & only a very few kept.  Saw some Vespa & one Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly.
