The fine weather has meant the moth trap has livened up somewhat with 56 moths of 17 species this morning. Best was a rather worn Pine Beauty which was new for the garden, bringing the garden list to 603. Also Acleris cristana was only my 2nd record, with Buttoned Snout, and Scorched Carpet being new for the year. Yesterday morning I was down at Seasalter looking for Emperor Moths when I was lucky enough to see a Black Kite fly west towards Oare Marshes where it was see a few minutes later. I only managed a distant photo.
