The Return of the Clouded Buff

It's back! The blue riband moth of Oxborough made a return last night, a rather worn individual but looking great nonetheless. Haven't recorded one in the trap for two years, so good to know they're still around. Also had four each of small elephant and large elephant hawks, plus two poplar hawks, a rosy footman, a pale tussock and a white satin... Plus a squillion brown things. The barn owl was quartering the meadow while I was sorting the trap out, and a female sparrowhawk and a noisy fledged juvenile passed through the garden too. Lots of greenfinches about too, seemingly recovered from their decline of last year.

Clouded Buff. Very flighty and didn't hang about when I tried to relocate it onto a leaf...

Pale Tussock. The best hairy legs in town!
