Red Admiral butterflies increased very conspicuously, with a steady northbound passage apparent at the Bill and elsewhere (sample counts included about 1 a minute through along East Cliffs at the Bill and about 30 through in 2 hours at Reap Lane/Barleycrates Lane); totals of settled Red Admirals included more than 100 in the Obs garden.
Immigrant moth totals included 12 Rush Veneer, 11 Dark Sword Grass, 7 Rusty-dot Pearl, 6 Scarce Bordered Straw, 5 Silver Y, 4 Pearly Underwing and singles of Delicate and Ni Moth at the Obs.
