You've made a good start to mothing this year Stewart. Great photo of the Oak Beauty and what a beautiful moth - would love to trap one of those!
ReplyDeleteYou're giving me in the 'warm' south a bit of a beating at the moment Stewart. Last couple of trap sessions in the garden has been pants.
ReplyDeleteCaroline - I'm sure you will. They have just arrived up here in recent years...
ReplyDeleteSteve - Dont worry, you'll soon lap me and then some!
