Sure enough



Dave noted on Wednesday that the December Moth and Scarce Umber should appear soon at Westcott. They duly made it here amid the fireworks last night. My first this year (the moths I mean) in both cases. Update: whoops! please excuse my age. The second moth is a Feathered Thorn. Sorry.  I hope you'll forgive the intrusion of a butterfly as well but I've always wanted a prolonged encounter with a Two-tailed Pasha, often called Europe's largest butterfly species, and a week in Provence has just given me that happy experience.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
