Today whilst doing gardening It was very hot so I tried out the Emperor Moth pheromone lure and sure enough one turned up after about 30 minutes-never stopped flapping but a first for the garden of course.Had a better day at Dunge on Thursday where there was an arrival of Garganey  I saw 7 of the 8 Garganey on the reserve. Also on the reserve were a small flock  Water Pipits. Finally from the ramp on the reserve we saw a Bittern “booming” which was a first for me and meant we had 5 species of heron in the day with Cattle, Little, and Great White Egrets plus Grey Heron.
