The skies cleared last night enabling good views of Jupiter which is showing three moons with one on the left and two close together on the right. Moth numbers were well down due to lower temperatures than we have had recently.
The morning was spent catching up with my bird and moth notes, answering e-mails and a few domestics. When are they going to invent a machine that washes, irons and puts away your clothes and does a bit of dusting and shopping. Yeah I know, they already have and it’s called mum. Bless. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s blog that the Osprey showed again.
I was out with Dave this afternoon arriving at the pond just in time to shelter in the café as it tipped it down. Once the rain had cleared it was very blustery with one gust recorded at 32mph and our walk out to farborough spit was quiet till the sun came back out then 8 Swift suddenly appeared over biggen bay and started feeding franticly followed by 2 summer plumage Golden Plovers which flew over heading west. Only other birds of note were Buzzard and a recently fledged Pied Wagtail.
