Night of 24th May, one Small Mottled Willow
|
||||||
|
Reports of small numbers of Red-veined Darter just starting to come in - e.g. from London and Suffolk. Maybe arrived with the Painted Ladies, so perhaps more to come?

On the night of the 23rd May 1 Striped Hawk and 1 Rush Veneer.Also walking at Porthgwarra N/W towards Land End 24th saw hundreds of Painted Ladys feeding on thrift at Gwennap Head ,and at top of the cliffs three of us decided to count them for ten minutes passing us as we walked twenty yards apart all flying N/W direction,result 67 in ten minutes which equates to 400 an hour,still passing us at the same rate as we walked on.

Good numbers of Painted Ladies arriving here. Absolute minimum of 450 today but this is surely a gross underestimate as included 280 along a single (1/2 mile) footpath and 70 arriving off the sea in 10 minutes. More likely 1000s involved
|

|
24/5/09.All day visible migration of Painted Ladies on wide front throughout W.Norfolk.Involved 1000s of individuals but never more than a dozen visible at same time.All flying at speed in a northerly/northwesterly direction.All specimens seen were worn suggesting long distance migration.
