Twenty Plume Moth
Pale Mottled Willow
A slower night on Wednesday due to the clear cool weather. 140 moths of 27 sp with the Pale Mottled Willow being the highlight, a new species for me. The Twenty Plume was in our kitchen. I've had a few of them this year but none to photograph so this one was more obliging its just a pity about the flash.
On the way to and from work this week I've noticed a Little Egret on the Coquet Estuary between Warkworth and Amble on three occasions. Its funny, I didnt even stop the car. Twenty years back and the car would have been abandoned with the doors left open while we scrabbled for a look!
Another real autumn sign this week. A Robin has started its melancholy song in the garden. Oh dear...
Never mind, the Bank Holiday is here so I have 4 days off!
I've done exactly the same with the little egret at the weir, nevermind 20 years ago, ten years ago and the car would've been stopped!
