A mainly overcast afternoon with light rain, a light southerly breeze blowing. Temperature around 16 degrees C.
Managed a couple of new species (NEW) despite the weather, Psylliodes affinis Potato Flea Beetle was found along Dryham Lane, probably a result of the current crop in North Field. The second species was a Spider Xysticus cf. cristatus again along Dryham Lane. Leafhopper Ribautiana tenerrima was new for the year (NFY).
