13th July

Very quiet on the bird scene with just a single Mediterranean Gull offshore and 50 Swifts and 11 Yellow Wagtails passing overhead.

 A Lesser Emperor dragonfly which found its way into the Heligoland Trap was a very nice surprise.

The moth traps were very busy again with the highlights being two pyralids with our second record of Anania perlucidalis and a Neophopteryx angustella.
