Slightly milder last night though still a heavy dew. A few nice moths in the trap :
Brick,
Black Rustic,
Frosted Orange,
Green-brindled Crescent and
Brindled Green plus a load of wasps!
Jays were calling madly in the woods.
Lunchtime was glorious - hotter than the summer! Walked down to the lakes. There were lots of fish swimming; some really big carp in lake 1 - which must have been put there as the lake was drained just two years ago!

Further down in Barnes Dell there is the distinct smell of toffee in the air! This comes from the rotting leaves of the
Katsura Tree. They have a very high sugar content and this taints the air with an odour of toffee as they rot - fantastic!
