A closer look at the intricate patterning on some of today's more splendiferous moths; a Buff Arches and a Peach Blossom
Thursday 12 July 2018
The glorious weather remains for another day, though the morning did see dense cloud-cover which dissipated by the late morning. Most notably waders saw a small increase today just one Lapwing was recorded, but the narrows held a good selection including a Dunlin, four Whimbrels, 21 Curlews, two Redshanks, two Common Sandpipers and a Turnstone. A single Snipe also made a brief appearance in the Wetlands when it was flushed from its feeding spot. Swallows numbered 28 today with many second broods on the way and first broods either fledged or close to it. Five House Martins were also present. Other notable passerines recorded today included ten Wheatears, three Sedge Warblers, one Whitethroat and five Willow Warblers.
