25th May - sunny, hot 24C, light-mod WSW

High pressure dominates and warm-hot weather is forecast for at least the next 10 days.  The weird weather continues..

Willey; Most unusual whilst checking the animals about 0830h in the top fields I noticed a Mole on the surfacing busily walking along the surface and nuzzling in to the grass - I think it would need a jack-hammer to get in to the ground where it was.  You don't often see a Mole on the surface at this time of day.





Later on I spotted a Cinnabar moth on the gravel and late afternoon another daytime moth was feeding on the Cotoneaster flowers in the garden.


Cotesbach landfill;  after lunch notables today  were the Shelduck pair and single Oystercatcher feeding.  House, Sand Martins, Swallows and Swifts feeding overhead.

Kimcote - a Little Egret flew over the Walton lane near the lakes.

Walton - a few screaming Swift entering the usual old house they nest in.
