Wintersett and another 1st for the area

Cooler today, 15 - 18 degrees with  8//8 cloud and a gusty south westerly wind.
Anglers CP Vis.Mig: per @grayspeight and @StevieD131 Peregrine 1 over.
Going south: Yellow-legged Gull 1 adult.  Swift 334.  Starling 157.   Sand Martin 7.  Teal 1.  Grey Wagtail 1.  Siskin 1.
Another 1st for the area! 
Pete Smith had a pleasant surprise when he returned to Anglers CP car park at lunchtime.  He saw a moth resting on the front grill of his car.  On closer inspection, he realised it was a much wanted Small Ranunculus, Hecatera dysodea.   A  new species for the Wintersett area and the 387th for the macro moth species list!
