onopis obviella was a new micro for the year. Slightly more interesting was the Ash Bud Moth this morning which I think is the first tiem I've seen an example that wasn't the dark phase type.

Yesterday I had 57 moths of 19 species and this morning there were 66 moths of 20 species. Today the catch was dominated by "brown jobs" with 23 Flounced Rustics, 12 "Yellow underwings" and 6 Square Spot Rustics. There was however one new micro for the year which was my 3rd record of Ypsolopha sequella and the first for 2 years. I then paid a visit to the Feast Hide at Grove Ferry where I failed with the Spotted Crake but the Kingfisher was posing.

A cooler night (11c) meant justb 45 moths of 16 species this morning. I then made a trip to Grove Ferry. No sign of any Wrynecks this morning but whilst in the Feast Hide a Bittern perched in the reeds at the back of the pool for about 30 minutes. A Kingfisher also put in a brief appearance and there were also a couple of Green sandpipers and a Water Rail.
