Well jel of your Merv! 👍

A belated Garden moth scheme trapping session last night. 24 of 6 species amazingly as I didn’t expect anything given heavy rain and the trap covered by a garden chair! Blair’s Shoulder-knot and a proper black Black Rustic new for the year. VC37 #teammoth

The Pallid Harrier at Kilnsea in the last of the light on Saturday. An absolute stunner.

Assuming it’s got dark uppers and not just shadow then Black Tern which would fit for this time of year and weather conditions. Otherwise possibly an Arctic Tern passing through. Both would be good birds 👍

Otherwise good no’s of Shoveler c125, Teal c120, Gadwall 12. c150 Meadow Pipit brought up by a Sparrowhawk to the ploughed field, 8 Swallow, female Kestrel main highlights.

One of only 5 Curlew at the Flashes #uptonwarren#ukbirding

Pale-legged Leaf Warbler: new to Britain

By John Headon, Martin Collinson and Martin Cade

Ah yeah I remember! Not had one at UW for many years 👍
