10th Sept. 1947.

A fine but very blustery day, warm, after a day of gale on 9th & some showers on 7th & 8th.

In afternoon rode to upper reservoir in Glenasmole against fierce SW wind - almost a gale about Bohernabreena & down upper lake in Glenasmole - but found perfect shelter at N.W. corner of upper reservoir, just S. of the boat "dock" & here swept dry edge of lake for an hour - 4.30 till 5.30 P.M.

Small hymenoptera - mainly Dacnusids & Aphidiids - very common at winter high-water-mark, now overgrown by Eleocharis, Littorella, &c. &c., but few below this or in Salices or grass above this level.
