MOTHS & THINGS 03/06/2013



Hi folks sorry for the lack of posts and comments lately, I have been very busy with some out door jobs which are taking up a lot of my time.
Anyway did get the Moth trap out a couple of nights ago and managed a few species, the first two images are a new species for me, and the Popular Hawkmoth and Purple Clay are firsts in the trap.
I still have quite a bit of work to do so posts may be a bit sparse so please bear with me.
I am having a night off tonight and I am off with a friend Brian to the moors down west looking for Nightjars and Grasshopper Warblers, I don't think there will be any images as it will be almost dark when they become active, still I have the 2 million candle power light so that should make em blink a bit.
