Spotted Flycatcher at Westland Green: 14.07.11

early thorn

least carpet

phylctaemia coronata

ruby tiger



shaded broad-bar

 A good haul of moths last night, with the first ruby tiger of the year, plus a new micro (phylctaemia coronata)  A good number of moths in the trap, with the seldom recorded shown above.
Also of note: a spotted flycatcher is at Westland Green. Has been observed for 5 days now and I shall make an effort to find out if it is the first breeding pair I have recorded for the parish, or a migratory adult, or a first year bird fresh from nest dispersal.
