Lade - warm, dry and sunny, W2 - At last, summer has returned, and a welcome day without rain. The garden moth trap was yet again low in numbers but high in quality with the first Bird`s Wing and Poplar Hawk-moth of the season, plus a Beautiful Hook-tip, new for the trap site. Outback the first Marbled White of summer was on the wing along with a few skippers and browns along the main track.
A couple of hours at Dungeness wandering around the Desert and Trapping Area produced the usual warblers and finches, plus a juvenile Wheatear by the Polish war memorial and a few more common grassland butterflies on the wing. There was also a large Border Force presence on the beach dealing with incoming human migrants having just made the perilous Channel crossing.
