Duty day

Five new for garden moths, Scarce Silver Lines being the best looking, plus some outstanding micros awaiting IDs.

Surprisingly grey and windy til lunchtime and then another hot afternoon.
Five Green Sandpipers were the best of the birds, in fact virtually no passerines other than hirundines, about 30 of three species.

As yesterday quite a few Red Admirals, three new looking Peacocks and a single Marbled White.

Odonata were the pick of the day with 12 species although Southern Hawker was missing.
