The superb Caspian Tern at Dengemarsh from Springfield Bridge for its 5th day. It spends much more time sitting on a distant island on Burrowes, so sometimes a long wait to see it at Dengemarsh, the views make the wait worthwhile.

A good turn out for the DBO Moth event. A superb number and range of Moth species were shown and photographed. Many thanks to all who came and to the locals fro bringing there traps.
Rose Plume a gorgeous moth.
Leopard Moth, another stunner
Great photos. It gave me the run around on Saturday so I only got brief flight views but at one point it looked like it was swallowing a gull chick or duckling as it was flying above Christmas Dell. Took 10 seconds or so struggling with a pair of feet left sticking out of its gape but it was in a bad heat haze and not close at the time so couldn’t be sure what it had. Apparently they do occasionally catch these opportunistically.
