The main interest from overnight mothing was another influx of Vagrant Piercer Cydia amplana, with 30 at the Obs, 7 at West Weare and a single at the Grove; the best of the other seemingly new immigrants included 12 Silver Y (the second highest total so far this year - it's been a shocking summer for this species) and singles of Two-coloured Bell Eucosma obumbratana, Marbled Yellow Pearl Evergestis extimalis and Hoary Knot-horn Gynancyla canella at the Obs and Bordered Straw at the Grove.

...and a nice ringing recovery/sighting; this colour-ringed/flagged Sanderling was at Ferrybridge from last Sunday until at least yesterday (photo © Pete Saunders):
Jeroen Reneerkens has kindly let us know that it was first ringed in December 2010 at the Banc d' Arguin, Mauritania; it was there again during November 2011 but there had been no subsequent sightings until last Friday (1st August) when it pitched up at Start Point, Devon - two days before dropping in at Ferrybridge.
