22nd June

Very quiet on both land and at sea. 

Two Porpoises were feeding offshore.

Overnight moth trapping produced a Bordered Straw while a search using pheromones  proved highly successful with the catching of a Red-tipped Clearwing along with two Lunar Hornet Moths and also some Six-belted Clearwings.
