Some warm weather for a change brought a few more moths to the traps and a few butterflies floating about. A freshly emerged Hornet Clearwing was the highlight in that department. Bird wise a new Willow Warbler singing early on was a surprise, another dose of Crossbills was also welcome with 44 heading South. Still a few Curlew moving around, presumably failed breeders. The only other birds of Note were a couple of Mute Swans, singles of Swift and Swallow, and couple of Sandwich Terns.
