The very hot weather has produced some big catches in the moth trap with a somewhat battered Convolvulus Hawk-moth the most interesting, and a month earlier than my previous records. Oak Hook-tip and Maiden's Blush have beem amongst new species this year. At Dungeness last week there were 5 Cattle Egrets, a Black-necked Grebe, 2 Little Ringed Plovers and several Willow Warblers on the ARC Pit, and at The St. Thomas A'Becket Church on the Romney Marsh there were a good selections of Dragonflies including 1 Blue-eyed Hawker.
