Pug

Hoping this one is sufficiently fresh for an ID

  1. Hi Mark, I think it's a Narrow-winged Pug, one that has so far eluded me.

  2. Nigel, thanks for that. I thought that was a strong possibility but I saw it's a moorland/ heath species feeding on heather. Not much of that around here. Other than gardens (and we are on limestone) I guess Shotover is the nearest to heathland.

  3. I've had Narrow-winged Pug in my garden in Marlow Bottom, which is essentially a woodland edge habitat, so I don't think they are restricted to moorland/heath
