May Day....May Day...

Its help we need up here. Its turned cold again with a fresh NE'erly dropping temperatures again. Last nights Garden Moth Survey only had 19 of 5 usual species. I've slipped into depression when I see what is caught further south :(

Anyway my April Garden Moth total stands at 1339 moths of 32 species.

Not much happening on the bird front either. Yesterday there were 6 pairs of Tufted Duck on the pond, a Yellow Wagtail flew over and 4 Greenland Wheatears were in the coast fields but thats about it.

Tomorrow I might try a sea watch to see if I can add to the tern species...

That's a great moth count, Stewart. If acceptable, I might email you for a little advice as I am still rather anxious about moth welfare if I buy a trap.
