A look at the pond early morning with 2 adult and third summer Yellow-legged Gull, 2 Ringed Plover, 4 Little Ringed Plover, 3 Common Sandpiper, 2 Dunlin, Green Sandpiper, 5 Common Tern, female Shoveler, 2 Green Woodpecker, 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 7 Bullfinch, 2 Whitethroat, 3 Blackcap, Sedge Warbler, Sparrowhawk and a Fox.

Luckily I checked the train movement internet site as soon as I got home and found out they had rerouted 5029 Nunney Castle via Cheltenham at the last minute so that put paid to Dave and I going over to Fenny Compton but we still met up for brunch over at Southam.

Finally getting to grips with all the moth photos Bob has taken this week with another 10 micros identify that are new for our gardens as well as record shots of the two new moths we added to our list. Another plus was Dave’s catch last night which included a Pine Hawk-moth.
