After a stormy night, we had a dry and cloudy morning. Despite the unsettled weather, no odd avian vagrants were observed or caught. Even the juvenile birds seemed less active today. The goldfinch flock is building up on the nature reserve as the juveniles fledge.
Insect numbers and species remained much the same, though large red damselflies seem to be approaching the end of their season.
After the storm, moth numbers were significantly down this morning. This species, Orthotaenia undulana is an odd species here. It was first noted here from 1999 - 2002, then disappeared until a record in 2019 and this individual this morning.
