We have just had a fabulous weekend - not only did we have two very lovely visitors from Portugal(Tracey and Dave) but also from much further south 3 Spotted Flycatchers. Last year was dire for the Flycatchers with not one record in the Park so when we found 3 yesterday we felt such relief. I have to say the Park has had its best spring ever with 5 Ring Ouzels, 3 Whimbrel, 1 Wheatear, 1 Cuckoo(also absent last year) and now 3 Flycatchers and I also relocated the Hornet but it never landed so no pictures again. The weekend has been hot and sunny so last night the moth light went on for an hour again something that never happened last summer as it was so cool and miserable - within minutes the trap was exploding with Cockchafers and then a few spectacular moths including this lovely Puss Moth hopefully we can have another go tonight and get a few more record shots.

I'm pleased you have both Cuckoo and Spotted flycatcher. I like the Puss Moth - it's one I've not scene before.
