Hazy Sunshine, E 1 > 2
The warmest night of the year so far ( last night ) and i did`nt even have the moth trap out. However, i still managed a few moth year ticks today.
The first of which came from the Wombwell Garden, with : Adela reaumurella ( day-flying micro ), Garden Carpet & Small Phoenix ;
Garden Carpet
Small Phoenix
not a moth, but Bush Vetch
Then onto Cortonwood, where i added another 2 species to the ( moth ) year list, with Ancylis badiana & Latticed Heath. Unfortunately, i was`nt quick enough with the camera. Never mind, they`ll save for another day. These did`nt get away so easy ( obviously ) ;
Birds-foot Trefoil
Lords & Ladies
I had intended to go and watch for any activity around the Fox den that i found yesterday, but due a number of setbacks, that`ll have to wait till tomorrow.
Moth year list - 43

The Small Phoenix is stunning!
It is a beauty. I can remember seeing my first one, could`nt believe how good looking it was.
Woderful shots. I won't be reproducing quality pics like that but I am inspired to post some good flower pics when the season finally turns.
Thanks AM, much appreciated as always.
Still plenty of flowers to appear yet. Good luck.
