Another hot and quiet day today. A few willow warblers were passing through, and yet more linnet juveniles appeared. Terns have started to feed in the river behind the observatory, quite a lot later than in previous years, it seems to be have been a late year for the three local breeding species. 

A few dragonflies were hunting the net lanes, including the first emperor in a while. 

On the moth front, Neocochylis molliculana, also known as Ox-tongue Conch, has colonised here after first being reported only a few years ago.
