27th June

Another very hot day and little to be seen on the bird front other than 20 Swifts over the area.

The moth traps continue to provide most of the interest with an excellent catch overnight which included a Rose Plume, the pyralids Acrobasis repandana and Evergestis limbata, a Pine Hawk-moth, a Four-spotted Footman and two Light Crimson Underwings.
