Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - Bank Holiday local round up |
The Moth trap didn't live up to expectations.. Just a Pebbled Hook Tip and a couple of unidentified Pugs the next morning!
Also, the farmland around the village was struggling to produce anything after the rain on Sunday. 5 Lapwings on territory about the only highlight, plus plenty of Whitethroats, and a few Swifts and House Martins overhead.
Listened to the bat detector in the evening, and picked up Noctule, Serotine and a few Common Pipistrelles from the garden.
Strange thing about this Spring locally is that I have seen some nice passage migrants (e.g. Redstart, Firecrest, Red Kite, Osprey), but haven't seen a single passage species that I saw locally last Spring (e.g. Nightingale, Grasshopper Warbler, Wheatear, Whinchat, Tree Pipit, Yellow Wagtail, or Little Ringed Plover)! |
