MOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT

Last Friday went to Dungeness with Malcom McVail,had half an hour watching the sea and not a lot else just a few gannets about 60 common scoters,+common and sandwich terns.A serin had been seen just before we arrived and a woodlark was found later in the morning.The ARC pits were quiet too and not much was on the RSPB board and just to cap it all the rain arrived two hours early,so we went home via Scotney where we found a couple of little gulls from the farm road.

The moth trap has been on the last few nights and although there are not many moths at least there are some
to record including:-

PALE TUSSOCK
BROAD BARRED WHITE

SHEARS

GREEN CARPET

SPECTACLE

I  have spent the last three days tidying up the garden which has been neglected of late,the weather may have turned the corner,only a month to midsummer and the nights drawing in ,happy days.
