3 of 4 Avocets on the Flood behind Dengemarsh Hide
2 Green Sandpipers on Burrowes were new in and it was good to see 2 Common Terns on the ARC hopefully more will follow. In general what you saw last week on the reserve is what you wills today.

Rest Harrow
With the warmer weather the moth trap is getting busier, this mornings stars were a Rest Harrow and a Portland Ribbon Wave, both are scarce moths in the UK. A Fox Moth which is quite common but sadly very few have ever graced my MV. Plutella xylostella is a micro moth which is considered to be a migrant, in the last 2 nights I have caught in excess of a 1,000 in my trap.
