Grey Plovers and new garden moth E.bilunana

Grey Plover

Epinotia bilunana
Temperatures still very poor for the time of year with a series of Atlantic lows sweeping through. The outlook is for more of the same. A sea watch could be on for Friday but otherwise it's a waiting game for a change in the weather.
A short visit to Sand Bay/Point this morning produced 3 Grey Plover in winter type plumage whilst at the Point nothing was recorded migrating through.
The garden moth trap still holding small numbers but Large Tabby, Freyer's Pug were new for the year and Epinotia bilunana was a garden first bringing the total to 446.
