its warm...its moth time.......and...

well....okay, there was a warm day recently so I felt the urge to put the trap out, I think that was 20th April, got two...!...so...left it a few days and with the increase in temperature and managing a few good days in a row...I put it out again...9...a bit better, though nowhere near as good as last year at this time when the weather had been amazing....still, its a start....pictures to follow, identification to be completed first....though one I identified immediately was this Early Thorn....

there arent many moths that pose like a butterfly, wings closed...this is one of them..

....and....I watched a pair of Chaffinch collecting nesting material just outside the kitchen window....fantastic....
