15th June

Very quiet on the bird front with just two Manx Shearwaters offshore of any note.

A Brown Hare was seen on the land.

However, the moth traps rescued the day with the catching of the very rare micro-moth Aproaerema polychromella. This is the first record for Dungeness and only the third county record.
