Things are warming up. Yesterday I recorded 13 moths in the trap: 7 HCs, 3 Early Greys, 1 Common Quaker, 1 Common Plume and the first Clouded Drab of the year. This morning there were 3 HCs, and the first Brindled Pug. I made a visit to Stodmarsh this morning where a pair of Garaganey were asleep in front of the Reed Bed Hide. I hoped they would wake up and swim a bit closer but they were flushed by a Marsh Harrier. There was also a Green Sandpiper. A Bittern was heard as was also my first Cuckoo of the year.
