May 22nd 2009

Met up with Bob Hazell early afternoon as he was leaving the pond and he had seen very little so as we ordered our coffee and cake I found a Poplar Hawkmoth (untangled from a spiders web) and Muslin Moth on the cafe walls so a quick call on the mobile soon had him back for photos. Once fed and watered we walked to toft but with a cool westerly wind all we could manage was 3 immature Lesser Black-backed Gulls and back in the car park 3 Common Blue butterflies.

This evening while setting up my garden traps 2 Canada Geese and a Cormorant flew over.
