30th May 2023

Norfolk Ornithologists Association - NOA

A rather quiet day, with a NNE wind not helping. A Barn Owl was hunting out on the marsh for most of the morning, seven Black-tailed Godwits were on the NWT pools and a flock of thirty or so Swifts spent sometime hawking insects over the Broadwater. Moth wise the traps held 2 Turnip, 3 Small Elephant Hawkmoth, 3 Bordered White, 2 Treble Lines,  4 Vines Rustic, 2 Heart and Dart, 2 Isotrias rectifasciana, and single Flame Shoulder, Brown Rustic, Mottled Rustic, Hebrew Character, Large Yellow Underwing and Notocelia  cynosbatella.
