...a here's a snippet of the field on a blustery, showery lunchtime. Hopefully it gives the idea of the vastness of the incredible display...

Last night snuck up on us as a bit of goodie (cloud, some warmth) & we were v. happy with 256/82 from the traps. As well as the Arches, this July Belle stole the show, a surprise NFG for a species we generally see up on the heath.

Here's an everyday story of country moths ~ it's the Arches...
A brilliant Grey Arches (our 2nd ever & an absolute beast of a macro), plus a smart Light Arches & one of the paler (from eight in all) Dark Arches from today's traps.

Today's bug of the day (bug of the year!) was a diminutive shocking pink grasshopper (Short-horned Grasshopper sp.) found at Glandford. The unique colour is caused by erythrism - red pigment to the max. Would love to know a species if possible.

A wet end to the morning but sensational views of the stunning Glossy Ibis on the marsh ~ right in front of Daukes' Hide ~ made everything worthwhile. The smartest GI I've seen here since the May 1992 bird that dropped onto Bittern Pool & this one was closer too!

A big surprise this morning, after a chilly June night, was our 2nd ever L-album Wainscot, after L-ynnette had one l-ast September when I was away working, so this was a new moth for my Cley Moth L-ist. Very happy about this l-ittle grip back 😅

Pretty much at the warmest point of the afternoon (just before 4pm) the garden was graced by this NFY Yellow-legged Clearwing. Such a smart moth 👌

Sunny late morning on our butterfly survey patch. Over 200 seen (though only five species) with Meadow Browns & Painted Lady by far the commonest seen but great to see Large Skipper too. There were also day flying moths inc., Burnet Companion.

Two more of the star of the show today, the "pink grasshopper".
