Around the peninsular it was very quiet avian wise, so much so that I even cleaned out the inside of my car, which was so disgusting inside it was an embarrassment.
Black-tailed Godwit still in the hay fields this evening
A walk right round the reserve this evening was pleasant enough but again uninspiring avian wise.
My first Poplar Hawkmoth of the year this morning
Toadflax Brocade a scarce moth in my trap
