Toadlet

It was raining on and off all day which meant there wasn’t much to see. The best birds were 2 Spoonbill and I enjoyed watching several pairs of Sedge Warblers feeding young.

Today’s moths: 4 White Ermine, 2 Large Yellow Underwing, 1 Small Elephant Hawk Moth, 1 White Line Brown Eye, 1 Willow Beauty, 1 Buff Tip, 1 Vine’s Rustic, 2 Sand Dart, 2 Mottled Rustic, 1 Heart and Dart, 1 Dog’s Tooth, 1 Dark Aches, 1 Common Wainscot.

The only other interesting observation were hundreds of tiny toadlets crossing the footpath next to the NWT hide.
