We had a work day at the lodge today but I managed to get out in the early evening and checked Ferry and Church Norton. Highlight was a summer plumaged Curlew Sandpiper on Ferry with the Blackwits.
The moth trap was good last night, with 66 species of over 200 individuals with highlights including Green Silver Lines (could be a lifer as I can't find a record of catching one before) and the first Eyed and Elephant Hawkmoths of the year. Now on 472 for the garden and 199 for the year.
Curlew Sandpiper (above and below)
Probable second-cycle Yellow-legged Gull- looks good apart from the heavily barred rump
Green Silver Lines- stunner!
Eyed Hawkmoth (above) and Elephant Hawkmoth (below). Certianly a day of good looking moths.
I thought this might be Small Clouded Brindle
Clancy's Rustic. Rusty-dot, this and a Turnip were the only suggestions of migrants
