My computer is slowly dying and does not always listening to
my pleas to work so may be off-line soon for a while I make me mind up what to
replace it with.
Birding locally has picked up in recent days with Turnstone,
Dunlin, 5 adult and 2 second year Yellow-legged Gulls at the pond on Sunday
morning, Osprey and Black Tern yesterday afternoon while today there were 5
Ringed Plover, Dunlin, 4 Common Tern, 50+ Swift and adult Yellow-legged Gull.
Still hundreds of Large White butterflies in the Cathiron
area along with good numbers of Peacock and 20+ Silver Y’s when we looked at Oliver Cromwell going north again. Dave had 6 Comma
butterflies in his garden this morning while we were clearing down his trap and I am getting a few
Vapourer moths visiting mine.
Dave ended July with over 220 moth species trapped from over 5000 moths and his garden list just keeps growing with it now on 322 Macros and 321 micro species from 108,000 moths trapped since August 2005. I had just completed his records when he caught number 644.

Hi Richard. Glad to see you are still getting out. Lost you after you stopped One man and his pond as I lost all my emails in one fell swoop too. Since the Day I borrowed that 50p form you for the car park and you showed me that Moth ( A Flounced Rustic I think it was I have slowly been chasing them more. I now am the proud owner of my own Trap lol. I also have just started a Blog if you would care to take a look, I have a few Moths on there. Dick Jones
