We spent the weekend checking various local sites for Willow Emerald Damselflies. We have found them hard to find this year. Presumably affected by the hot, dry weather. Only 2 at Godmersham and 5 at Shirley Moor. The latter site normally produces dozens.

A few from the past few days. Many thanks to Sean Clancy for the viewing of Paracorsia repandalis. Probably 4th for Kent. Also Ni Moth and a beautiful pink Vestal. A distant Glossy Ibis seen from RSPB. The usual Cattle Egret and Great White Egrets. Many Clouded Yellows still.
Paracorsia repandalis, also known as Straw Pearl. Trapped by Sean Clancy. Thought to be only the 4th for Kent.

A very distant dark dot (upper part of photo) was the Dungeness Glossy Ibis departing over Brett's Marina heading towards Scotney, and probably East Sussex.

A good day at Dungeness in beautiful weather. Pectoral Sandpiper eventually showed from Firth Lookout after giving us the run around. 3 Clouded Yellows, 8 Cattle Egrets and 3 Great White Egrets. Thanks to Richard W, 17 Balearic Shearwaters sitting on the sea & 3 Arctic Skuas.
Record photo of the Pec Sandpiper in front of Firth Lookout. It would not come closer whilst we were present.
