GET OFF MY CLOUD

SMALL MAGPIEROSY FOOTMANPYRALIDSILVER YDOT MOTH
CUTTLE FISH EGG CASES
Wednesday morning moth trap full mostly commoners but several silver y had arrived  ,rosy footman,dot moth,swallowtail and peppered mothand several interesting pyralids.Samphire Hoe in the early morning can be very special, something unusual may have arrived or the weather will sometimes surprise.Today a couple of common sandpipers were on the west beach,an adult mediterranean gull was in amongst the BHGs and later on 30 common scoters were seen flying by,is summer nearly over?surely not.The best sight of the day though was provided by a spectacular cloud hanging like a winter duvet over the cliffs for a short time.This cluster of chalfont like egg cases were found washed ashore at the weekend,they are evidently from the cuttle fish
