A visit to Amwell on Saturday 18th produced good views of a rather elusive wood sandpiper, that showed well fr the view point, but too far away for a worthwhile photo. Year lister 161. Also present were numerous grey herons and cormorants, plenty of common tern, a strangely out of place wigeon, few lapwings, 3 redshanks and a pair of little ringed plovers.

The moth trap remained virtually empty over the weekend evenings, with just a clouded drab and muslin moth roosting on the Saturday morning, whilst a new for year brimstone was discovered this morning. Suspect that it will be the first of many; a common garden moth.
