Sea fog rolling up the bund between the sea watch hide and Patch hide this morning
Another very dull and damp morning at Dungeness, on the up side the moth trap was bulging though not a great deal of quality in it, a Shore Wainscot which is just about annual in my trap, 98 Xylostellas and 6 Privet Hawk Moths among the among the many usual suspects.
As the sun came out this afternoon I thought I'd have look at Dengemarsh for the Norfolk Hawker that was seen on Saturday, a Mediterranean Gull was on the new flood at Springfield Bridge caused by yesterday afternoons and evenings biblical down pour. After an hours searching I spotted a likely candidate being harassed by an Emperor Dragonfly, fortunately the Hawker landed quite close to me showing off its green eyes.
