These two Lychnis were new and the Dusky Thorn was first of the summer.
Micro Hofmannophila pseudospretella also popped up although I think I've trapped it here before. More surprisingly was a very dead (last year??) Jersey Tiger in the garage!! A later check found the eighth Tree Lichen Beauty of the month inside the shed and a very smart Dark/Grey Dagger on the garage wall.
Later still, sitting in the nursing home garden, up to twenty Swifts were feeding and screaming overhead and three Sand Martins headed eastwards.
Yesterday, a very quiet couple of hours at TH produced nothing better than two Snipe feeding in close much to the delight of a group of ladies but, unsurprisingly, no sign of the very late and small Avocet chick. Also no harrier activity. About 100 Common Terns were on the beach at low tide but too far out to check for other species.
