New Romney - hot, dry and sunny, SW2 - With a humid, moonless night affording superb weather conditions for moths, 42 species of macros hit the garden trap including two new to me: Blue-bordered Carpet and Small Yellow Wave, both of which I never had on the shingle. Also, my first Privet Hawk-moth, Figure of Eighty, Green Pug and Gallium Carpet for the site.
On the bird reserve yesterdays Melodious Warbler found early on by MC along the Willow Trail on ARC sang briefly around midday, but there was no presence today. From Hanson hide hundreds of all the usual wildfowl on the lake and islands, plus Lapwings, Common Tern, Glossy Ibis, Black-tailed Godwits and a two pairs of Avocets looking as though they may well settle down to nest, if a little late in the season.
