Streamer |
Fannia mollissima |
I found some Few-flowered Garlic, which was new to me - an amazingly large patch of it in flower which I had somehow contrived to not notice before, and also some Green Alkanet - another common species I'd never run into. So all in all still on target for 667 by month end, and with the weather distinctly better no reason why not (famous last words...)
(edit note: my Cream-spot Ladybirds were redetermined to Orange Ladybird by someone who knows better. New species to me, so a nice surprise and a reminder to double check things you think are obvious!)

Yes, Streamers are great moths, one of my favourites. Don't seem to see Fannias much round here, not sure if I'm missing them, but don't think so. Literally hundreds of anthomyiids though, although not much variety at the moment.
ReplyDeletePallid Harrier a few hundreds yards off patch this morning!
I am going to be jealous may times this year of your being in Norfolk! i'd need to check if I've had one in UK, though I've seen them in Turkey. I may actually have seen one in Norfolk!
DeleteHave had Bittern, Gropper and Pallid Harrier just outside the 1 km square boundary this week!
