Min temp 10.4.A couple of new moths for the year:
A burnished brass (Diachrysia chrysitis)
and a gothic (Naenia typica). This is a rather worn sample.
This garden carpet (Xanthorhoe fluctuata) shows how camouflaged they are as it rests on a wall.
Shuttle-shaped dart (Agrotis puta)Of note in the bird world was a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) over the village (Muston). This is the first I have seen here in 4 years. There is a pair of little owls (Athene noctua) nesting in Muston also and it was a pleasure to see them feeding young yesterday.
