Mea culpa
Hello again and here's the Gold Spot which I inadvertently Spangled a couple of posts below. While here, may I just check on the second moth shown which I have so far reckoned to be a Plain Golden Y. All best Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
Hi Martin, bit difficult to be sure from that angle in the egg-box but to me it looks more like a plain old Silver Y. They arrive at this time of year as migrants and there have been plenty of them around over the past week or two. I wouldn't normally expect to see Plain Golden Y for another couple of weeks yet but anything is possible in this strange old year.
