Carlton then Eyed hawk Moths

On Saturday 10th June, a look at Carlton Marshes revealed A Grass Snake by the Spider Bridge, no sign of any Spiders. Plus a hairy hawker seen flying up and down the dyke. A text from Rob Holmes that he had some mating hawk Moths and I popped over to his address nearby and there were 2 mating Eyed Hawk Moths perched on the stem of an Alium. It was a warm day so the offer of a drink from Rob was very welcome, a great photo session in very convivial surroundings! A further visit later, again no spiders revaled an immature Mistle Thrush fly over by Spratt's Water.
