So pleased that I set the moth trap last night. Several New For Garden, including the Garden Tiger, in the photo above, and the Latticed Heath
The find of the night, indeed the season, was a fresh Clifden Nonpareil or Blue Underwing. It is a big moth and very handsome. For comparison, the moth in the bottom right hand corner of the photo is a Setaceous Hebrew Character, and it’s dwarfed.
Aside from a successful moth trap, I also – finally – ringed my 1000th bird, a juvenile male Blackbird which is quite a milestone for me. I managed to let a robin escape so I still need plenty of practice.
