Its quite a challenge to your temperament getting up at some horrendous hour in the morning to find your mist net poles have been commissioned to construct a yurt. This involves cutting them in half..........Fortunately enough poles were located to carry out the Heysham CES. The "problem" at the Middleton CES was the usual one - wind a bit stronger than forecasted. However, we 'got away with it' and the catches at both sites were reasonable as the sun was firmly kept in its place by some low cloud
There were no newly-fledged summer visitors, but a few territorial males were caught of Sedge Warbler, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat and Whitethroat, so hopefully the nests themselves have not been washed or blown away. The recently fledged tit/Dunnock/Robin season was, however, in full swing!
Outfalls
A quick check revealed one Arctic Tern and the 2CY Kittiwake
Moths
Decentish catch included Figure of 80, Dog's Tooth and 3 Shaded Pug
Some pics from two days ago (thanks Janet)
