Bit calmer this morning and better light #marshsand, #gwentbirds

A pleasent evening watching the rising tide at Peterstone, Gwent, turned a little manic in the final minutes before the mud was covered, when looking through the Redshank flock I found a Marsh Sandpiper, ooossh, County 1st!!!! Manage to relocate the bird about 45 mins later

Bordered Straw the highlight this morning in the Caerleon moth trap, others included a Snout, Copper Underwing agg, Pale Mottled Willow #gwentmoths
