24th July.... International Space Station, tomorrow night.

Today found a partially decapitated Ruddy Darter by my small pond answering the question of who’s larva has been crawling out of the pond.  Also a few of these micro moths.....Pyrausta Purpuralis....busy feeding from the flowering oregano.
With the nights slowly drawing in, International Space Station sightings are becoming available at more sensible times.  For example, tomorrow the 25th it will be visible (weather permitting) from 9.37 pm, coming in from the SW and disappearing at   9.46 in the East. Quite low in the sky max. height 55 degrees. It will pass close to Jupiter in the SW.

Just after 7am a Small White & Holly Blue were both on the wing in the garden, don't recall seeing Butterflies in the air that early in the day before.
