Little flurry of NFGs

Again few moths but six NFGs out of sixteen species and twenty one individuals wasn't too bad. A big shape flashed out of the trap and between my legs but luckily pitched up on a fence panel, a surprising Red Underwing. It was far too hyper to sit for a photo and when released hammered off high towards the big trees on the A3. Garden list now on 121. A Bullfinch was  calling distantly but very quiet otherwise.

Off to the bioblitz shortly.

A nice black Adder sunning, plenty of Blue-tailed Damsels, one or two Southern Hawkers and an Emperor. Two Common Blue were the best butterflies. Bird wise four Buzzards and a few overflying Med Gulls.

The late evening bat walk was well attended and with plenty of detectirs to go round. Very close encounters with pipistrelles near the ponds but no other species. Back tomorrow morning to see which moths were caught, my trap being virtually empty, only four macros and no NfGs this time, nor photos.

Saturday morning was almost too hot for insects with the few moths in the trap at Hazleton all very fired up. Nothing particularly interesting surprisingly.
A few more hovers and the only Small Heath of the morning.
