July 31st 2011

Headed upto Lincolnshire today to Crowle Moor,my target today was Black Darters a short diversion to Barton upon Humber to pick Rich Dawkins & Mandy West up & we were away. A cracking reserve with good numbers of Black Darter seen a few Common Darter a few Common Hawker (only the 2nd time iv'e seen these) Brown Hawker a freshly hatched Migrant Hawker found by Mandy,Beautiful Yellow Underwing (moth) found by the trickster,a Adder found by myself which had the blood pumping when it shot across in front of me!!! The only downside to the day was the bloody Horse flies! dropped Mandy & Rich off & picked up Campion (moth) as a lifer thanks to Rich keeping some of the previous nights trap!
