2 new moths


2 new moths in the trap this morning, firstly a clouded brindle and secondly a dark arches. A little bird watching in the garden produced 3 swifts over the chapel accompanied by a solitary swallow. Usual starlings, wood pigeons, collared doves, goldfinches, chaffinches and great, blue and coal tits. Obviously a newly fledged family of great tits knocking about in the cherry tree. Single lesser black backed gull over and a kestrel hunting over Brick Kiln Hill.
Also noteworthy was a hummingbird hawkmoth, seen nectaring at the hanging baskets outside the Nag's Head at lunchtime.
