Plenty of day flying insects in this soporific heat including Six-spot Burnet.
Southbound 36 Sand Martin, 5 Barwit & 5 Swallow. A Reed Warbler was singing along View Point Road. 2 Great Spotted Woodpecker paid a visit together with the number of recent records hopefully suggesting that they have had a reasonable breeding season. A Red-veined Darter was the first for 8 years.
Moth traps fairly busy in this heat & humidity with several infrequent visitors from inland including Suspected, a species we have only had a couple of times previously with worn examples like this easily overlooked.Ringing: nil.
