In common with much of Norfolk, there has been a paucity of nesting House Martins in Ridlington this year. The house opposite - where several pairs have nested as long as we have lived here - have none. Although we saw adults prospecting, there are none on ours either. But, there is one on John's house next door, which is viewable from our back garden. If you sit on a low seat in a small corner at the correct angle and peer into the apex overlooking our utility room.
Despite spending two sessions with camera poised, I failed to catch any adults on their short feeding visits to the two well grown young.
I think that Buff Arches is one of the most beautiful moths we trap in our garden. Its understated elegance, and delicate two-tone tracery delights me.
