Turn to
moths. I’ve not run a trap much this year (or last for that matter) but it’s
now back to being a permanent feature in the garden. Last night was a half
decent night with a few nice species. Only migrants were a single Dark Sword
Grass and a Silver Y but the moth of the night award went to a Dingy Shears
which is a localised species in Dorset.
This time of
year is normally very quiet for birds so I maybe resorting to moths to keep
this blog alive and kicking over the next few weeks until the onslaught of
migrant birds flood to Dorset on their return journey. Well… I hope, but
considering the bad weather I doubt there’ll be that many fledglings making
their first migration this year. Fingers crossed I’m proved wrong!
You must be careful Luke, you now blog more often than Weymouth Wetlands!
