Horsey Corner - the big moth dip

There were a couple of exceptional days of moth migration in southern and eastern England recently, and for various reasons I missed both of them. Very frustrating, as some of the moths not too far away were fab - Crimson Speckled etc. Still, it's turning out to be a good moth year overall, now up to 491 species, far more than I thought I'd get at the start of the year. Add in a few aphids and what more could you want? A Yellow-browed Warbler has just made an appearance in the garden.
