On the Butts a Pyramidal Orchid has appeared in a new spot. Over the last few days slightly more migrant moths have been noted in the form of Silver Y & Diamond-backs. A single Rush Veneer yesterday was followed by three more today plus the first Dark Sword Grass of the year. Also of note a Langmaid's Yellow Underwing that may, or may not, be a migrant ?
