Few migrants about at the moment but a Hummingbird Hawk-moth was feeding on our buddleja at 5.50 am on Saturday morning. It was barely light and the temperature 11C.

Clifden Nonpareils are flying
This is one of four fresh individuals seen in an Oxfordshire woodland on Saturday night 24th. Two were at wine ropes, two were at one of three Robinson MVs I was running. We are now in double figures for VC23 but the others were all singles at scattered sites. There are numerous large Black Poplars and it is almost certainly resident there.
