Pam had already decided that a day's birding on Sunday the 2nd would be better than the last Saturday of a Bank Holiday and Half Term week, when the Silvery Gem whatsapp informed us of a very desirable Hawkmoth which had been trapped overnight in the Cley area. The finder joins the group at Cley on Thursdays and had generously allowed his find to be both publicised by another member and, visitors allowed. Pam and I were unable to go on Friday as the car was in the garage having a new battery fitted ( a result of spending 5 hours in Cley Centre car park on Thursday afternoon, waiting for the AA, when our car wouldn't start).
This is what we found.
A long 'wanted' moth, the result of an overnight wind from North Africa. Holme NOA trapped two of them the same night. A lovely moth.
