Once I had completed me walk and moths I ambled round the valley managing an adult Osprey over Grandborough village heading towards Draycote Water just before I got drenched by another heavy shower. Earlier I had managed to see Tree Sparrow at Flecknoe and a Brown Argus along the Hill Rd. There were many Swifts on the move either because of the weather front approaching or they were on the way south. Lucky buggers don’t have to queue for three hours to leave the country like us humans do.
On the way to Cubbington to meet the boys for a drink in the evening we managed only a single Buzzard and there seem to be a few moths flying in the car headlights but this was not reflected in my catch.
