 The end of another year. Since the last post I've added just 2 species to the garden Moth List for 2022: Winter Moth and Mottled Umber. The final total for the year being 405, which is my 2nd best year and only the 2nd time I've passed 400 species. Also surprising is the addition of 37 new species this year bringing the overall total for the site to 731. Interesting birds seen since the last post include A Purple Sandpiper at Hampton Pier and Whooper Swans at Dungeness.
