Friday 11th June

A Whimbrel was calling overnight.

Wildlife News: Light trapping into Saturday morning saw a low total of 34 species of moth but two of these were new for the Recording Area. These were both introduced species, the Australian Ruddy Streak Tachystola acroxantha and the North American Cypress-tip Moth Argyresthia cupressella. Other species recorded included Small Elephant Hawkmoth, Pale Tussock, Spectacle and Peppered Moth with two other Warren firsts, the caddisfly Mystacides longicornis and the soldier beetle Rhagonycha limbata.
