Another Clifden Nonpareil
I went out to the trap this morning and groaned at the sight of these wings on the patio. The bats had had a feast again - they usually concentrate on yellow underwings.
However, in the trap was another docile individual. As I thought, until it took off like a rocket. Wonderful to see the bird-sized moth fly around and escape into the trees.

Talking of bird sized moths, a few weeks ago I spotted a large brown moth slowly flapping along and it was a Old Lady. Suddenly there was a second brown object with it, but that turned out to be a wren which landed on a branch. Presumably it thought it was in with a chance of a banquet, but changed it's mind.
