I had permission to set some traps up in the well established gardens of two house that have been demolished awaiting development in to a nursing home and temporally being used as a builders car park for the staff working on the refurbishment of my local Sainsbury’s. Although nothing bionic caught I had a healthy 350 moths from 85 species.
The inclement weather finally caught up with me at the pond early evening and got drenched, the roost is starting to build and held over 500 Lesser Black-backed Gulls along with smaller numbers of Black-headed Gull and 2 adult Yellow-legged Gulls. The 3 Little Egrets were still present along with 5 Common Sandpiper. A family party of 4 Garden Warbler were in biggen bay.
