I did have a very large moth in the conservatory on Monday night but it was flapping around the light so I left it in the dark thinking I'd find it in the morning. Unfortunately not - so I'm none the wiser. PS: I didn't get bitten by clegs at Sidwood, thankfully - I seem to have been bitten by plenty of other things this summer. Nor did I take my binoculars but I think I saw young pied flycatchers - from your ringing knowledge, would they be there?Emma Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385447781203785369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31159349.post-31830003109474693622009-07-22T11:15:30.587+01:002009-07-22T11:15:30.587+01:00Hi Stewart,

They are usually separable but can be similar - a check on the hindwing would confirm (whitish in Common, dusky in Smoky).<br /><br />http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=2198<br /><br />http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=2199Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31159349.post-55893024564097150112009-07-22T10:12:08.970+01:002009-07-22T10:12:08.970+01:00That's one beautiful Moth and what a pelt he h...That's one beautiful Moth and what a pelt he has over his head.oldcrow61https://www.blogger.com/profile/08037896874383359258noreply@blogger.com
