WHAT A GREAT "GOOD FRIDAY"

Hi and firstly may I wish everyone a very "Happy Easter", well weather turned out nice today a balmy 13c, so spent most of the day outside doing some spring jobs around the house & garden. Later this afternoon I was walking up the path to the front of the house when I saw a small movement in the dry stone wall, on closer inspection I found a beautiful moth blending in with the stonework. I recognized it as an "Angle Shades" which is a new garden species for me and totally unexpected. So it turned out to be a Really "Good Friday" in every sense. Below are two Photo's of this beautiful Moth.

MAGPIE'S & TIGERS

Well here we are back at Friday once again,had quite a busy week and looking forward to the weekend. The weather has become a bit milder, a balmy 13c today and so my mind is drifting of towards the moth trap,and what delights it will hold this year. So yes you guessed it tonight's subjects are a couple of little beauty's, on the left is the Magpie Moth, I have had a number of these last year and they seem very common in this area. On the right is the Garden Tiger, this is the only one of these I have seen, this one was found on the floor at my workplace. Had to use flash on both of the images as the light was not good enough for natural photography. So tomorrow it will be time to dust off the trap charge up the battery and get ready for some early morning action.
