A rather uneventful day bird-wise unfortunately, with several small flocks of Black-tailed Godwit, 15 and seven the highlight.
Butterfly wise, a Painted Lady albeit a worn example, was a nice find near the Dell Hide.
The Moth trap produced 36 species, which included Brown-line Bright-eye, two Rosy Footman, two Peppered Moths, three Small Emerald and single Clouded Border, Round-winged Muslin and Garden Tiger.
Peppered Moths, two forms, the darker 'insularia' the more unusual. |
Garden Tiger |
Brown-line Bright-eye. |
