Cudworth (27th/28th of June 2026)
Some lovely looking macro moths in my garden trap last night that included c10 Box Tree Moths, 6 Swallow-tailed, a White Satin and a cracking Scarlet Tiger moth, which was new for me.
Box Tree Moth
Carlton Marsh
Yesterday Chris Parkin was fairly sure he had seen the long waited for Red-eyed Damselfly. So I went to check today and sure enough a male was resting on fallen leaves in the dike near the hide. It occasionally took short flights. Needless to say this is a first for the reserve.
However, there was no sign of yesterday's Red-veined Darter (CG).
South Kirkby Industrial park
17 species today and over 900 butterflies that included 1 Painted Lady, 2 Red Admiral, 10 Small Tort., 4 Comma, 32 Marbled White, 27 Gatekeeper, 1 Holly Blue, and 2 Black-tailed Skimmers (Chris Parkin).
