Ange, an immature Common Gull came in briefly on Anglers and the drake Garganey appeared in front of the hide. We also had 2 Common Terns there as well as 7 on Wintersett, before the rain came. Our Richard found the larvae of Drinker Moth in Cudworth. Raye Dye also had one at Rabbit Ings recently.

Thanks for the records Cliff. We have seen quite a few Drinker Moth larva around the Wintersett area recently.
