Great Mullein is not struggling with the dry conditions but seems to thrive on it.
Loads of insects about at the moment including this Speckled Wood just after a confrontation with a young Great Tit. No migrant birds to report although worth a mention is the Peregrine sitting on the docks cranes for the second time this week as they are so elusive when moulting that we can go weeks without seeing them.
White Plume occurs on various bindweed's in a variety of habitats but is only recorded in benign conditions here as, like many of its congeners, it can struggle in the wind.
