Burnet Companion moths numerous on the plateau area. These images from Wednesday of this difficult species to photograph by Janet:
The hut moth trap is picking up some moths now but numbers still below par - 13 regular species this morning.
Middleton NR
No Swimming Pond - still two Gadwall with families of 4 and 8 young.
Cettis Warbler at least one singing near the north east corner.
Model Boat Pond - excellent display of Northern Marsh Orchids around the west fringe and on the spit.
Plenty of Brown Hawker dragonflies plus at least one pair of Emperor, numerous Common Blue damselfies plus at least three Red-veined Darter. These last seen in less-than ideal conditions - broken cloud, brisk wind and quite cool.
