18th June

The first significant rain for over a month fell overnight, briefly in the early morning and more heavily in the afternoon. A Greenshank flew over the area.

The moth traps were much busier last night and produced the rare micro Metalampra italica along with a Rest Harrow, an Orange Footman and two Delicates.
