Dog Days


The lack of sultry weather seems to be pushing moth numbers down with the trap generally being pretty quiet. The only new moth recently has been the Saltern Ear pictured above trapped on the night of the of the 27th July.
Similarly birding has been quiet with the WEBS count on the 13th being particularly so. Normans Bay has been a little busier with regular parties of up to 40 Sandwich Terns including the group above on the 12th August.
The Grey Seal pictured above has been seen regularly fishing in Normans Bay and a single Brown Hare was on Down Level on the 13th.
Finally the impressive Hornet hoverfly pictured above was in the garden on the 30th July.
