Although this one isn't a great image (and none of the ones of this were) I kept it because I hadn't expected to see anything flying around at the time of year (I certainly wouldn't have left the house if I had the option). 20.11.2011 Flint shingle at upper edge of saltmarsh, Bosham, West Sussex.

No, it isn't a Coelopa, it is probably Scathophaga litorea.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Thank you! Will update title and add images (with cautionary note) to the S. litorea folder. I must go through gallery and check that I'm not harbouring any further un-illustrated images soon... Will. |
