Cuttlebrook Corridor- recent birds and moths

 The floods are receding again at Lower Cuttlebrook which has created some good habitat for Egrets with 15 Little Egrets and 2 Great Egrets feeding on one field yesterday evening. Also had Common Snipe on the field near the rental and Peregrine go over.

Over 40 moths of 16 species last night at the garden light trap including a couple of new ones, now on 30 species.
