Robbin' Robin

 I know that this isn't a birding blog, but I thought that you might like to see this year's cock Robin here, the most ruthless yet in a long and cunning line. Below are some recent arrivals who escaped his attentions with my help. Meanwhile a friend in the Isle of Wight, unfamiliar with moths, sent me a couple of pictures of what he thought after a spell of Googling might be a Burnished Brass. It was actually a Slender Burnished Brass, a spectacular moth which I've never seen before and which seems to reach the UK very seldom. Still, we can think of the Clifden Nonpareil and hope.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon.
