Another hot day yesterday (25C) but clear skies overnight brought only a handful of moths but among them was a lovely
Alder Kitten. Others included
Heart and Dart,
Ruddy Highflyer,
Angle Shades, Common Swift and
Grey Pine Carpet.

Went around the Phase 3 / Sustainability Hub site at lunchtime. By now it should have been full of buildings, and no doubt it will be eventually, but at the moment it is a super place for wild flowers and insects. The ponds are looking good with
Yellow Flag and
Ragged Robin and we observed young dragonfly larvae coming to the surface to breathe. A few
Large Red Damselflies and
Blue-tailed Damselflies were on the wing.
