26th June

25th June: What with the continuing climate breakdown and some pretty heavy duty mothing birding didn't get much of a look in today, with a single reappearance of the Serin at the Obs, 5 Balearics offshore, a Grey Wagtail overhead & 5 Redshanks at Ferrybridge the day's only noteworthy sightings.

Another bumper night for dispersers in the Obs garden moth-traps with a Pale Shoulder the pick of the relatively few migrants likely to be of more distant origin; 2 more Splendid Brocades amongst the rest of the catch.
