Species List for 16/8/2011

A poor night, and the last I'll be reporting for a few days. A long weekend at Rutland and the Birdfair beckons. My son Pete will be there with Nina and two of my Grandsons, Jack and Josh, so we should have a good time, with a bit of Dragonfly watching and birding round Rutland Water. I'm not taking a moth trap, as we are B&B'ing this year, not camping. I hope some one will be running traps and exhibiting the catches, there's normally some moths to see. Back Sunday evening, when I hope to put the traps on weather permitting.
