Holme Bird Observatory Saturday 31st October 2020

A very blustery and wet day with rain at lunch time. The Dusky was still skulking in its spot near the Heligoland, a Barn Owl was hunting and a Siskin flew over calling.

The last night of moth trapping for 2020 produced 3 Large Wainscots, an Angle Shades, 2 Red-green Carpets, a Lesser Yellow Underwing, Black Rustic and 2 Diamond-backs. A late Migrant Hawker was at the west end of the reserve.
