Teasels are pulling in the insects including Six-spot Burnet.

Migrant birds difficult to come by. Movements were 5 Sandwich Tern north & 2 south plus a Swift south.



Webb's Wainscot and Apotomis lineana are nationally scarce species that don't visit us very often on a hot night with an overnight low of 21.1 Celsius at 0220 hrs that rose an hour later by 0320 hrs to a sticky 24.2 Celsius. Benign hot conditions are continuously delivering us dispersing moths that we have few records off.  Cydia amplana is a migrant first noted here in 2004 and, no doubt, contemplating colonisation.

9 birds ringed: 5 House Sparrow, 1 Blackbird, 1 Great Tit, 1 Robin, 1 Woodpigeon.
