Emperor Dragonfly resting on the Power station perimeter wall early morning

An hours sea watch early this morning was again very slow, just a few each of Common Scoter, Gannets, Common and Sandwich Terns and Mediterranean Gulls of any note. AJG watched for another 90 minutes with the same results. The anglers were once again reeling in plenty of Mackerel.

Another string of Mackerel being hauled in

In the trapping area a singing Blackcap among the few resident birds. I borrowed OLs Lunar Hornet Clearwing pheromone with excellent results.

No change at the ARC still all the eclipse wildfowl enjoying the high water levels. The Common Terns on the raft seem to be doing ok.

This afternoon on Romney Marsh a couple of Red-tipped Clearwings came to my pheromone lure
