Waves plunging over rocks are really hard to photograph in a manner that can convey whats really happening and whats under the water . The rocks beneath the waves only show fleetingly amidst the froth and turmoil.
Warmer calmer night yields a better catch including a new for garden micro.
On Sunday it was of course Father's Day, and after a busy day seeing both sides of the family, the trap was switched on when I returned home.
A muggy and warmer night, with lighter winds was on the cards but it did cool down a little more than predicted and we lost the humidity with lows of 11c.
8 new for year species were recorded including a new for garden record.
I was convinced I had recorded the odd little 'white eye-capped' Opostega salaciella before, but I got mixed up with taking it on a field trip and in France on holiday, a nice feeling to know that I was wrong and that it was indeed to be the 344th species of Micro Moth for the garden
So close to 700 species, Opostega salaciella makes it 699 for the garden since 2012
Garden species count for 2019 now upto 177.

Big waves from the storm that passed through the night before. Howling offshore winds cleaned the break.

Tidal Wave is a giant water ride located at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, UK. It was opened in 2000 and was Tussauds' first major investment in the park.
When the ride was constructed in 2000 it was the tallest water ride in Europe and retained the title until 2002, when Hydro at Oakwood Theme Park was opened. From 2006 to 2009, the ride was sponsored by Original Source, and from 2010 by Dr. Pepper.
A wave is not as straight forward as I once thought it might be. There may be someone out there who has also noticed the waves (like the ones photographed here) are made up from millions of miniwaves. A strange phenomenon! Anyway anyone who can shed light on this please share the info. with me and my flickr friends as I am always ready to learn!
