We've reached the end of another month and the moth trap year list stands at 375 which is 10 ahead of my previous best year at this stage. I've also had 29 new species this year which I think is pretty good for the 21st year of trapping here. Things have quietened down now with the change in the weather, but the strong northerlies over the weekend brought a big seabird passage along the North Kent coast. I managed 75 arctic Skuas and 25 Bonxies (Great Skuas) in about 2 hours on Sunday morning. A visit to Dunge a week or so ago produced 3 Black Terns on the RSPB reserve. A crab spider in the garden was interesting too.
