Woke up at 4.30 so decided to get up to see what moths were in trap. Disappointingly low count - no more than 10 individuals, though a couple of hawk moths.
So having woken up I thought I should take advantage & go for a walk without the dogs.
Overcast, but mild, and the air was full of birdsong. Highlights were: cuckoo, grasshopper warbler reeling, cranes in distance,sedge warbler, wren, marsh harrier overhead.
Also saw a number of deer which then barked very loudly, and a couple of foxes.
