Moth-ing

Thursday February 19

Two lovely sunny days encouraged me to put the moth trap out. Three species and 5 moths in total ! 
A very worn Chestnut, 3 Early brindled Beauty and a Spring Usher which is new for the garden. Never trapped this early before, I'd hoped for a new record.

 We're off to the Solway to-morrow for  a Geese Weekend with Carl Chapman. Fingers crossed for reasonable weather. We're due at Northrepps for 6 a.m.
