There was a racket coming from the TV mast this morning - a couple of
Herring Gulls and no less than 6
Magpies were mobbing a pair of
Ravens! Presumably these are the St Werburghs birds. The station was quiet other than a
Woodpigeon and the usual
House Sparrows. It was good to see some
Perforate St John's Wort near the railway line.

I put the moth trap out last night and had an amazing 25+
Heart and Dart along with my first ever
Heart and Club, a
Pale Mottled Willow, a couple of
Large Yellow Underwings and a smart
Bright-line Brown-eye. A small but attractive micro-moth looks to be
Eudonia lacustrata which likes moss on trees and walls - lots of moss on my roof!

This evening there was a small
Centipede in the bath! It might be a
Lithobius species.
