Sunny, E 2
Bit of a disappointing haul from the moth trap overnight, with just 4 Light Brown Apple Moths & this beastie ;
Ichneumon sp
Waited for it to warm up a bit, before i ventured out to Cortonwood this morning. Did a full circuit, but not a lot to show for it ;
Click Beetle sp
Ribwort Plantain
Pink Oxalis
Then i decided to continue along the Trans-Pennine Trail towards the Knollbeck area. This area produced 2 moth year ticks, with : Mother Shipton, spent about 10mins trying to get a pic, but gave up and turned my attention to this Small Yellow Underwing ( which did`nt give me the runaround ) ;
A few more shots from here ;
Cercopis vulnerata
Campion ( Red x White hybrid )
Herb Robert
Celery-leaved Buttercup
Wild Pansy
Another hour then i`m off to watch for any Fox activity. Wish me luck !!
Moth year list - 45

Fabbo pics again! I've not heard of that buttercup before...
Thanks Toffeeapple.
The flower on that Buttercup is quite small, so there`s chance it could be overlooked. It`s found around the edges of ponds etc.
