Very little on the migrant front for me 1 each dark sword-grass and rush veneer also 4 four spotted footman, 3 Clancy’s rustic and a white-point bit they are probably not migrants

Cracking photo!

My nephew even had one on his front door last week, and I know of a few others that have caught them so must be fairly common this year.

Amazing footage!!

It’s now 21 days since my last plover post, we have found nest 11, outside the enclosure. It only had one egg, but the female was incubating it. Although she seems to have stopped now. Meanwhile, one chick from the brood 4 reported last time is still doing well. Fingerscrossed. #ukbirding

I’ve had to step back a bit as it was all getting a bit overwhelming, especially when recording other stuff too. Put the the trap out last night and still had nearly 300 moths. I did have 2 small marbled and 6 light crimson underwings plus a host of other stuff, but was too much before work

Since my last post we have found two more nests, nest 9 was outside the enclosure & quickly predated by crows. Nest 10 was evidently missed as when I found it yesterday, the first chick had already hatched. By midday today 3 were running around but egg 4 was sat with just a hole. #ukbirding

It’s only the 2nd I’ve had, any thoughts on this ermine? I caught 2 bird cherry, and two of these

Migrant action last night was limited to two species, foot-spotted footman of which there were 8, and a rush veneer. #migrantmothuk

Every one I know locally caught four-spotted last night so guess they were migrants
