With mild air still prevailing there are still many invertebrates to find out on the reserve. Migrant Hawkers and Common Darters still rule the skies and countless Craneflies rise from the grass as you walk along.
Mating pairs can be seen everywhere while egg full females can be seen worming their way down into the grass to lay what will become tasty leather-jackets that the Starlings so love!
This Grey Dagger cat was found by Dawn Cowan on her walk this morning and unlike the adult moth it can easily be identified.
