Night of 1 June:

Dewick's Plusia - 1 at light (G. Spraggs).

Dainty Damselfly, Kent.
Yesterday (2 June), a female Dainty Damselfly was found on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. It was at the 2010 site with public access (the other two sites were on private land). Head north to Sheppey via the old road bridge. Park either just south of the bridge (e.g. west of the road or in the Swale railway station car park) or in the small pull-offs just north of the bridge. At the latter, a public footpath leads west past pools and under the new road bridge. The damselfly was on the northern shore of the second pool west of the road.
