Night Owl - Gerry Rafferty

ALL OUR YESTERDAYS
As something of a 'filler' as we continue to get to grips again with this infernal machine,
we head back in the first instance to 07/09/2018 when on our usual 
Daily Rounds inside the Solar Panal Compounds we came across this stricken

(Night Owl Link - We Think)
BARN OWL
However, what we would really liked to have shown,
in addition and had such a thing been in existance,
would be a video clip of the palava it took to capture the hapless bird.
Armed only with the Butterfly / Moth net
it took a full 20 minutes to take it into care.
On arrival at Slight Return II
friends rallied round with 2 of them transporting it to the
Owl Sanctuary at Ringwood, Dorset
where unfortunately it died overnight.
During the same year the following Moths were added to the 
Recording Area (RA) List
White-pinion Spotted
Beautiful Carpet
Pauper Pug
Lesser Cream Wave
Pretty Chalk Carpet
Valerian Pug
Unfortuneately our own specimen was damaged on capture so
resorted to the Internet for an image.
While the
WOODLARK
once again successfully procreated within the RA.
