A little later a Meliscaeva auricollis appeared. Rather more moths in terms of numbers and variety than previously, perhaps not unsurprising given the hot, sticky and still conditions ovenight. Nuthatch and Great Spotted Woodpecker were both vocal and a few unidentified hirundines headed south.
Very sweaty early afternoon conditions produced a blizzard of flying ants and 20+ screaming Swifts almost too high to see with the naked eye.
