Blashford 20

Another six new moth species this morning although two were micro-genus-only, Pebble Hooktip probably the pick of the bunch. As yesterday a Buzzard came low over the house eastwards and again chased by corvids at 06:30, presumably moving away from a roost site; a single Med Gull headed inland.

A few moths at Blashford and lots of people pond dipping and meadow sweeping etc. A Kingfisher seen and heard a few times, 40+ Egyptian Geese, single Common Sandpiper and a juvenile Peregrine stirring up the gulls and terns.

Two highlights were the Red Arrows heading east for Americas Cup display from Tern Hide and thanks to Bob's exact directions a Bee Wolf heading into its burrow with a Bee slung underneath; sadly it didn't pose for a photo nor reappear whilst I waited.
