16 - 22°C, warm and sunny with a very light south westerly.
Anglers CP: Oystercatcher 2 adults + 1 juvenile.
Botany Bay: Siskin 1 over.
Butterfly: A White-letter Hairstreak was seen at Botany Farm.
Odonata: A total of 5 male Red-veined Darters were seen off the east bank of Anglers CP lake today. These are rare migrants from the continent that usually turn up in hot south easterly winds in June and July. They favour patrolling areas of flat ,calm water. Good views can be had when they perch on vegetation and rocks at the edge of the lake. There have been several records in the Wintersett area in the past, but no records since 2007. It look as if an influx is underway at the moment.
