Later in the evening Harry Beaumont joined us in a moth session. It was a good night with muggy overcast conditions around 14c. Here are some of the scarcer more colourful of the 43 macro species caught.

Today (Thursday 31/5/18)
Keith Bannister saw what he thought was a Egyptian Goose leaving the wader scrape around 8am. I believe that one turned up at Anglers soon after.
Then at 08.52hrs Russ Boland phoned in to say that a male Mandarin was on the wader scrape. It had relocated to the main scrape and was still here this evening.

Cetti's Warbler, Kingfisher, Buzzard and Pink Foot Goose were present.
