Saturday

Things were a good deal more favourable both at the 

Mercury Vapour Moth Trap and across the

Recording Area while action in the LED Traps still remains very slow!

 LUNAR MARBLED BROWN

 GREAT PROMINENT

OAK-TREE PUG

were all first examples for the year

Also close to home both

 WHITE DEAD NETTLE

and

 GREEN ALKANET

is springing up all over but with Bird Life down this end still formed ony by

The Usual Suspects

 LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER

 was found both singing and

 drumming
