Some new moths from the trap this morning, notably Scarlet Tiger, Garden Carpet, Sycamore, Buff Footman, Anania coronata and Buff Arches although the latter was a corpse in a spider's web! Flyover Yellowhammer and Bullfinch were surprising 'garden' ticks.
The walk from Finchdean was a short anticlockwise stroll although extended by a diversion due to closed footpaths. Sparrowhawk over the car park, a few Buzzards, Green Woodpecker, some heard only Marsh Tits were about the only notable birds. A Roe Deer buck bounced through the crops and was the only mammal. Other members of the group noted down plants but that's beyond me!
Insect wise just a few butterflies, bonking beetles and Myathropa florea on the hoverfly front plus many longhorn beetles ( Rutpela maculata) on umbellifers.
By the end of the walk it was stifling so a pint of Doombar at the George in company of a couple from S'oton was definitely order of the day!!
