I got back from a weeks camping on Friday night. The weather at the campsite was unbearably hot. But despite there being a couple of thousand people there, the wildlife was good. I ended up with 37species of bird, the highlight of which was a couple of Yellowhammers! One of these birds I was almost guaranteed to see singing for the first few days. Other birds of note were Linnet, Kestrel and Whitethroat. Macro-wise there were some good moths including a Poplar Hawkmoth outside the gents bathroom! a Dingy footman and one that looked like a spotless Ermine-Moth, any suggestions welcome! Also in a ditch I saw a couple of minute Toadlets! I'll leave you for now with some pictures, enjoy!
Great blog! Some lovely photos on your website too, keep up the good work :) As for the mystery moth, Brown-tail and Yellow-tail both have plain white wings and are about the same size and shape as White Ermine, could be one of them...?
ReplyDeleteThanks... I'm glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a yellow-tailed moth, but its hard to tell the difference as it didn't show its tail.
