Glowworm - Shortheath Common

We're not sure why we picked up a discarded, decaying Pheasant wing at Shortheath on 16 June. However we were surprised to find this Glowworm larva on it. Snails are the prime food item for these beetles - presumably this means that carrion is also part of the diet. 



This Common Tern was fishing the pond - perhaps a wanderer from Frensham
