An empty box

Barring a single Small Wainscott(NfG) and two micros the trap was empty  - well two wasps also - and a single Riband Wave on the fence. Felt very cool and breezy at 05:30. Sadly, it looks as if Jayne's mugs aren't magic!!

Later, a trip to WWT to return polo shirt and badge and catch up with Terry, Andy, Gerry and wife plus staff. Single Red Kite harassed by gulls, one Peregrine sat up quietly in one of the dead trees and several sightings of Kingfisher plus heards. Brown Hawker and Common Darter only. By late morning the noise of families and strimmers was too much so back home via a typically appalling Chichester traffic jam  - so, so nice to live to the  west of all that. Hopefully, Pagham won't get any rarities until after the kids are back to school!!
