July 31st 2010

It rained all night so the traps were a little quiet though Dave added Lesser Treble-bar to his year list and added another micro to his garden list. Best mine could offer was first for the year Small dotted-Buff.
Napton Reservoir had 2 Cetties 4 Reed, 3 Sedge Warbler, Little Owl and 4 Raven while Napton on the Hill had 3 Spotted Flycatcher, Garden Warbler, 5 Mistle Thrush, 2 Coal Tit, 2 Buzzard and Peregrine.
Butterflies seen today were Common Blue, Holly Blue, Speckled Wood, Comma, Marbled White, Large White, Green–veined White, Meadow brown and Ringlet.
