Looks to me like a Common Sandpiper now I’ve studied my book (the handful of folk I saw were telling me it was Green). I’m happy to be corrected but it has that white gap and it was bobbing it rear slightly. This afternoon at SBBO @sandwichbirdobs.bsky.social

We've finally managed to finish all of our mothy paperwork from our last trip to @sandwichbirdobs.bsky.social earlier this month. Across our week (& a bit) we recorded a sizeable 3429 moths of 249 species. So many highlights from so many great mothing nights.

Two super-smart Sandwich micro moths from y'day. These two had a featherweight battle for Moth of the Day. In the white & gold corner, Argyresthia brockeella (Gold W) & the orange & yellow corner, Psuedargyrotoza conwagana (Yellow-spotted Tortrix). Two knockout moths!

With hundreds of moths to choose from (out of some 115 species), it was tough to pick a favourite from the morning's haul, but I think that it's hard to beat Pyrausta purpuralis (Common Purple & Gold). Such a cool colour scheme.

A funky bug day around the Bay: first is Mogulones geographicus, a weevil found on Viper's Bugloss that has a restricted UK range ~ love the distinctive etched-patterning of this one. Also, a Tortoise Shieldbug species (either Eurygaster maura or E. testudinaria).
@linnetincley.bsky.social

This striking Shieldbug is only safely identified by gen. det. Such a smart bug, not one we've seen.

An increasingly hot, hot, hot day at Sandwich was livened up by over 50 Med Gulls flying above the car park & then - boom! - the 1st Sallow Clearwing for the Obs recording area in to SYN lure, also in the car park (too hot to go much further this avo)...

A very smart Small Red-eyed Damselfly showing wonderfully well on the car park pond at Sandwich Obs. This was a super obliging individual ~ grabs taken from phone video.

Baking hot day at the Bay but these Marsh Helleborines were worth a little stroll in the midday sun. Well over 30 spikes, with many already looking frazzled & burnt off after days & days of heat adn intense sunshine.

We don't see many Rhurbarb & Custards (the Rosy Knot-horn - Oncocera semirubella) at home or away, and we've not had two in the same trap until today. What a cool moth this is ~ gorgeous!

Beautiful cooling breeze along the beach at Sandwich Bay this afternoon. This pristine Brown Argus was one of the highlights amongst this vibrant beach habitat. So much to see ~ we could have walked for miles!

We've seen a few nice dragonflies since we've been in Kent & this fine male Red-veined Darter was very obliging near the Restharrow Scrape this evening.

There were just 11 large gulls on the Restharrow Scrape at Sandwich early evening but one of them was this rather nice 2CY Caspian Gull which eventually stopped snoozing & showed well ahead of heading off over the scrape & down towards Deal. Bonus bird!

...as for the moths, there could only be one highlight for us today, this pristine Spurge Hawk-moth, back at base at SBBO. We've long hoped to see a Spurge somewhere & Sandwich came good today. What a stunning, stunning moth! Wowsers. Spurge!!!

It would be my pleasure to personally donated some nest boxes to you both so you can create your own Swift colonies over time. I cover East Norfolk for work Tim and am at your old SBBO stomping ground in September Kevin, very happy to pass by. It will be worth while. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Fab morning at the SBBO dragonfly pools in the company of local birder & odanata guru
@andrewlipczynski.bsky.social whose sharp eyes picked up a stunning imm ♀️ Scarce Blue-tailed Damselslfy (aurantiaca). Then I found the 1st Great Crested Newt for Sandwich!

Early morning wander to Worth after even earlier morning moth-age SBBO & chuffed to hear the excited bubbling "prrrup, prrup" of Bee-eaters. Found an open area, scanned & picked up four birds hawking WNW of Blue Pigeons Farm.
