In afternoon drove over to Phoenix Park & left car near White Gate, Castleknock, & walked along boundary wall to foot of the Furry Glen & back via the pond.  

Swept here & there en route, but mainly under trees & along sunk ditch just S of White's Gate, where, contrary to expectation, small hymenoptera were very plentiful! 

Saw 2 Speckled Wood & 1 Small Tortoiseshell Butterflies & Daisy reported seeing a Bumble Bee.  Wasps very plentiful at Ivy on boundary wall.  The Ivy is late this year & only a very little yet in flower.
