4 moths only this morning: yesterdays common swift and 2 flame shoulders, plus a new one for 2012: a marbled minor. A common moth, at this time of the year easy to distinguish from 2 other similar species but later on 2nd and 3rd generations become identical and require dissection to id.
Also, whilst gardening, a silver y moth was disturbed and finally, while filling up with petrol at a petrol station in Puckeridge, a flyover hobby, a new bird for the year. Photos; the marbled minor and a much more red coloured flame shoulder than yesterday's specimen.
