Its like a Barred Warbler!

Big and Grey and from Scandinavia...

Great Brocade

Tom Tams, our recorder, caught one of these last week, the first for a few years in the county, so I was over the moon to find this in the trap this morning. A big critter, size of a Garden Tiger...

Straw Underwing

 Another cool night down to 9 degrees, but I was warmed up this morning when I found my first Great Brocade lurking in the egg trays. Fantastic. Also in this lot was a Straw Underwing, a common species in the south of the county but not so here...
