22 June 2016 - Nr Sevenoaks, Kent
Had 15 mins mothing before the heavens opened. Several Bilberry and Lead-coloured Pugs - no Little Thorn or Beautiful Snout caught on this trip, but given the time I had, perhaps I shouldn't grumble!

18 June 2016 - Nth of Canterbury
Spent a cold couple of hours under clear skies just north of Canterbury (Thornden/West Blean area). About 33% of the macros were Four-dotted Footman - but the numbers all round were poor. Few nice micros helped provide some colour for the evening... Would really appreciate confirmation on any of the images below - tis always much appreciated.
