My heart was sent racing on my home tonight when a ringtail harrier flew across the road in front of me. With all the pallid harriers around at the moment I stepped on the gas to find the next field entrance. Thankfully the bird was still hunting over a beet field but unfortunatly it turned out to be a female hen - probably the rarer of the two at the moment!

A nice black rustic moth on the office wall, 2 claims of scarce waders on the fresh marsh, 2 numpties walking down the east bank (no access) and clearing the septic tank......another 'normal' day at work!
