It was mainly a faffing day today as we were supposed to be working on the plot but when we went to Kavarna to pick up the strimmer, that had been in for repairs since October- it still wasn't ready. We also had to order some stones for the pond and arrange delivery for tomorrow and then by the time the strimmer was ready to pick up most of the day had passed.
However the moth trap was brilliant this morning and Kojak and I got out and did a bit of birding and Kojak, Dylan and I had a walk round the steppe this evening. Birding highlights today included Quails singing on the Steppe, 4 Gull-billed Tern going south and a couple of nice close Red-footed Falcons. Ebird list HERE.
As we got out the cars by the guesthouse Anton spotted a stunning Horn-nosed Viper which was another highlight of the day.
Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive work wise! The stimmer broke down this evening after 10 mins so need to take that back so not a great start already.
Have updated the plot's moths and butterflies i-naturalist project HERE . Now on 345 species for the plot. Project ebird hotspot now on 174 species HERE. We've added Gull-billed Tern, Mallard and Pygmy Cormorant to the hotspot list this trip so far.
