🥵 🥵 🥵

Sunshine, 34°, light SE.

A brief walk along the Bunk line/Green lane today.

Fairly quiet in the hot weather today. Several Yellow Wagtail and Pied Wagtail around, maybe 4+ of each and a couple of brief snatches of a Willow Warbler song.

A couple of Common Whitethroat, several Chiffchaff, a Kestrel and 3 Green Woodpecker.

4 Grey Wagtail in the garden this morning, hopefully this was from a successful breeding pair nearby.

A Common Sandpiper seen this morning at the new gravel workings. Per BJW & AD.

Dragonflies: Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker & Common Darter.

Butterflies: Large White, Small White, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown.

Moths: Info from Tony Rayner, We are in uncharted territory - an amazing number of moths last night dominated by one species. We made it 337 Common Wainscots! This is sort of numbers that I have only previously experienced in Bulgaria - again in high temperatures.
