Tough learning curve for baby bunnies !

Bee-eater heard calling at least ten times as it went over heading north at 0615 hrs but, frustratingly, not seen. Other shakers & movers this morning included a Grey Heron heading high out to sea that then turned right with northbound 8 Common Scoter, 2 Little Tern & Fulmar.

With an overnight low temperature of 18.4 Celsius & very light winds the moth traps were heaving taking 5 hours to sort through. Several micros turned up that we very rarely see including Mompha ochraceella that has only been previously noted here in 2009.
