Jersey Tiger & Red Arrows

Lade - 0600hrs - Warm, dry and sunny, light airs - Another stunning morning following a muggy night with light airs and cloud cover, just perfect for moths. And, first moth in the trap was a splendid Jersey Tiger, new for the site, followed by an Iron Prominent, (scarce here) and a total of 25 species. Whilst emptying the trap a Tripit called overhead followed by several Yellow Wags.
Dungeness  - 0900hrs - Flogged around the Desert and the edge of the Trapping Area with little success apart from a few Whitethroats, Willow Warblers, a Chiffchaff and Greater pecker.
Called in at the Kerton Road Cafe on the way home to talk moths and swill tea when the Red Arrows passed over the Marsh en-route to showing off somewhere.
