Hello
This morning I decided to turn my attention more to moths, an area I am not at all familiar with and being continually daunted by the sheer number of species and frequently their similarity to each other! Taking advantage of a moth trap set up overnight in Scaldwell village we tried our best at identifying the contents and taking a few photos of the more distinctive ones - my apologies if I have made identification errors!
Whilst in Scaldwell a pair of Hobbies made several sorties overhead, at one stage both chasing a Swift with an unknown outcome. A Spotted Flycatcher was present too.
Ravens and Spotted Flycatchers were in Hanging Houghton village today and a family of Spotted Flycatchers were at Lamport Hall.
Yesterday evening there were four Yellow-legged Gulls at Wicksteed Park, Kettering and early this morning there was an Osprey at Hollowell Reservoir plus four Little Ringed Plovers and a Dunlin. A long-staying Grasshopper Warbler was 'reeling' at Braunston.
The Garganey remains in Blowers Lodge Bay at Stanford Reservoir and a Black-tailed Godwit was there this morning plus a Little Ringed Plover, twelve Little Egrets, a Common Sandpiper and four Ravens.
Regards
Neil M
