7th Sept. 1944. 

Weather cleared about midday & so in afternoon rode to head of upper reservoir in Glenasmole, which was drenched by a heavy shower from NW just before we got there:  nevertheless the lower part of glen got the greater part of it & by the time we reached the top of lake I was able to sweep a little here & there on the open flat now nearly awash as the reservoir had filled up some 12 feet (fide Mr. Moore!) during the last week.  Swept here for nearly an hour before another shower finished collecting & after another at 5:30 rode home. 

Saw one white butterfly near Old Bawn & one Small Tortoiseshell at head of upper reservoir
