A quick stop at newton marsh during my deliveries today. No godwits..... strange!
Coot, moorhen,teal,mallard,wigeon and the single little grebe all present. 1 little egret, 1 grey heron and 1 curlew all at the distant end of the ditch. A pair of buzzard circling overhead as I hopefully checked the powerlines for corn bunting, but no luck again.

1 male feathered thorn moth at our new house (attracted to garage light) tonight. Only had Jills phone cam to hand, and it didnt focus.















Hopefully my next post will have the new starling video and dodgyscope pics of the Great grey shrike at stocks reservoir! C-ya
