Westland Green moths 12.04.12 + year list birds

I set the trap up in a wooded area in Westland Green last night as I wanted a selection of moths for a group of children that I was taking on a nature day at Hatfield forest. The trap took over 30 moths mainly quaker, twin spotted quaker and small quaker. Also a couple of clouded drabs and a single lunar marbled brown. The latter, a common April moth was new for the parish list. A photo of a rather battered specimen here along with 2 of the clouded drab.
On the nature wander we saw and heard plenty of birds, including both swallow and house martin over the lake which have been added to my year list. A super day with enthusiatic children.
