Had a triple surprise in the moth trap this morning with my
earliest record of Red-lined Quaker, 2nd earliest record of
Pink-barred Sallow and 3rd earliest record of Blair’s Shoulder-knot
due to last nights very mild temperatures before the low cloud and mist
arrived.

| Pink-barred Sallow |
The same low cloud was responsible for very poor light
conditions at the pond when Bob and I walked to toft bay which hardly improved
through out our visit and made viewing very difficult.
Ended up with 2 Ringed Plover and a Dunlin on the south
shore, 4 Ravens over our heads heading for toft, 2 Gadwall, 32 Mute Swan, 2
Swallow, Sparrowhawk and a Kingfisher flying across toft bank and along the
brook bordering the sewage farm. There were plenty of Black-heading Gulls
loafing around but nothing special among them.
