A very warm night resulting in a magical catch with 26 species and 74 moths for the garden but lost most of um when I kicked the trap over so had to rely on Dave’s 36 species from 150 moths for photo opportunities for Bob and April when they came round mid-morning. John rang in the afternoon reporting a Red Kite over the Bumbling Bears house in Long Lawford heading east but I could not pick it up from my place and I had very few birds in the garden till gathering storm clouds early evening produced 2 Hobby and a Sparrowhawk over the garden.
Sandy Carpet - a new garden moth for Dave putting him on 289 macros and 125 micros for his garden trap so not far behind me.
