20th July

A Wood Sandpiper flew over the Observatory this morning and three Yellow-legged Gulls and a flock of 11 Little Terns were the best the sea could offer.

The best of the overnight moth trapping were a Pine Hawkmoth, a Dog's Tooth and the tortrix Endothenia profundana.

A thorough check  of the main areas for rare crickets produced just one nymph Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket and only six Tree Cricket nymphs.
