Just passed the 800 mark

As with many others, the moth trap is the main source of new species at the moment but a Whimbrel flying over calling as I emptied it the other morning was more unexpected than anything inside the trap. Plodding on solely but its time I need, not only in the field but also examining some of the many pots currently in the fridge. Anyway just passed the 800 mark.
