There were loads of House Sparrows in Station Road this morning, several collecting nesting material, others sat on the roofs. I estimate at least 20 birds were there - always good to see so many. Nearby at the station there were 3 or 4
Orange-tip butterflies and a
Speckled Wood. A snail on the wall looked like a
Strawberry Snail but I had no intention of eating it. A
Common Earwig was on a dandelion flower. Nearby at Fairlawn Road there were several
Honeybees and another
Nomad Bee.

I had a pathetic night as far as the moth trap was concerned, just two moths - a
Pale Mottled Willow and a micro-moth which I tentatively identified as an
Ephestia species and which, to my relief, the experts on Facebook confirmed.
