An interesting day yesterday that started with Bowers Marsh RSPB on way back from Stanstead airport - 20 Spoonbills and Red-necked Phalarope the highlights, followed by an evening survey looking for Fisher's Estuarine moth in North Kent.
Cydia interscindana was a complete surprise in the garden trap Friday night - seems currently to be only found in the Hither Green area in VC16. Dartford VC16.
Folkestone VC15 last night's highlight was undoubtedly this Passenger from @LewisStuff's trap. 15+ Palpita vitrealis provided a nice support.
THE SORCERER to light last night. Third British record. Moth will be available for viewing at the Observatory until this evening.
Red - Footed Falcon - male moulting into 2nd winter plumage at Elmley NNR. Strongly suspect this is last year's juvenile returning as it was frequently the same area as last year.
A great day out in the Dungeness area produced many highlights including American Golden Plover, 2 Red-Backed Shrikes, 18 Glossy Ibises, Redstart, Spotted Flycatcher, Sooty and Balearic Shearwaters, Osprey and Long-tailed Skua.
A few weeks ago I got my first garden Four-spotted Footman. Since then i've had 5, all males. Last night I caught my first garden female. Dartford VC16.
Some recent highlights from the garden trap have included Hedge Rustic, Bordered Straw and Heath Rustic - Dartford VC16.
A wander across Worth marshes yesterday produced White Stork, Cattle Egret, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruff and many inverts - Migrant Hawker, Willow Emerald Damselfly, Wall Brown and Common Darter 📷
A trapping session at Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory a couple of nights ago was highly successful with this Convolvulus Hawk-moth being the highlight.
Second generation Heath Fritillary from East Blean woods today - first time i've ever seen this species in September.
A couple of decent moths in the last few days - Dartford VC16. Vestal and Centre-barred Sallow.
Very pleased to get 2 new macro moths for the garden on consecutive nights - Yellow Belle and Four-Spotted Footman.
Today's survey was to look for Monochroa niphognatha (Bistort Borer moth) which is only known in the UK from 1 small area in the Stour valley. We surveyed a new area of the site and were pleasantly surprised to find 7 very tiny caterpillars - result!
Finally, after several failed visits, I managed to get views of a Brown Hairstreak at Fackenden downs this afternoon. woop Woop!!
A few more of the many highlights from Devon this weekend: Anomalous, Crescent Dart, Cosmopolitan and Small Marbled. With @markhows
2 very special moths seen on the rugged cliffs of North Devon on Friday night - Scarce Black-neck and Black-banded. With @markhows
