Overslept and, as a result, the early morning rain had started and the trap was slightly wet but still dry inside. Three hawkmoths were nice but Swallow-tailed Moth, Coronet and July Highflier were new.

At Blashford a few more moths notably Scarce Merveille du jour and Eyed Hawkmoth.

Plenty of Swifts, House Martins, Sand Martins and a fair few juvenile Common Terns plus Kingfisher and LRP both heard-only. A circling Sparrowhawk appeared twice overhead setting the Swallows and House Martins a-twittering.
