July meeting at Testwood Lakes
Six birders met at Salmons Leap, for a walk around Lower Test Reserve, on a bright and breeze morning. There were not many birds to be seen,- we only managed to see 20 species in total. But we had a pleasant time in the hide.
The next meeting is on 27th August Testwood Lakes, at the usual time of 10am.

The musk beetle (Aromia moschata) is a Eurasian species of longhorn beetle belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Callichromatini. Its name comes from the musky smell it emits. Description
This beetle is characterised by a somewhat coppery or greenish metallic tint. The typical form, characterised by a metallic pronotum, is widespread in Europe, except for most of Spain and the Southern Italy. In such regions, in North Africa, and in Asia to Japan, the species is represented by some subspecies characterised by a more or less red pronotum. The antennae are longer than the entire head and body length in male and as long as body in females. Nevertheless, the Oriental subspecies have usually shorter antennae.
