Last night was clear with a full moon so temperature dropped to single figures producing very few moths though the day warmed up for a visit to Ashlawn Cutting this afternoon. Mainly for butterfly's but there was plenty of bird activity with Great-spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker 2, Hobby, Mistle Thrush 4, Blackcap 3, Garden Warbler, Whitethroat 2 and Jay. Butterfly's were Comma 2, Small Skipper 5, Small Tortoiseshell, Gatekeeper 8, Green-veined White, Large White 6, Ringlet 2, Marbled White 4, Meadow Brown 6 while the only moth identified was Six-spot Burnet. On the way home I had 3 Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk.
