The star Moths in our Yate garden today were Common Rustic agg, Scalloped Oak & Riband Waves.

We went to Sapperton to look for the Purple Emperors.

A Male was perched on the very top of a Beech Tree.

We also saw a White-letter Hairstreak very briefly in flight.

We went to Lower Moor Farm NR for a cup of tea at the Dragonfly Cafe.

The Dragonflies on show were Brown Hawkers, Common Darter, Black-tailed Skimmers, Common Emperor, Four-spotted Chasers & Lesser Emperor.

A Grey Heron was also seen from the cafe.

We also saw Banded Demoiselle & Red-eyed Damselflies from the hide.
