Black is Black - Los Bravos

  BUT WHITE CAN BE WHITER!

Despite the lightest of rain and something of a draught coming from the south west again we did relatively well from the Moth Traps with

SMALL SCALLOP
SWALLOW-TAILED MOTH
BORDERED BEAUTY
CLOUDED SILVER
along with
SCALLOP SHELL
and while we don't wish to hit you with a BBC style 'repeat' of Monday's Post there was what we consider to be another wave of juvenile
SWALLOWs
which as a maximum we have never recorded
more than 2 pulses of such
in a single season
so make the most of it as
we may not see the likes of it again for
Another Year!
Just to put a slight slant on that there were also a couple of
JUVENILE STONECHATs
along with them.
All else included some other rather interesting and bizzare looking Insects away from the traps
such as
WESTERN CONIFER SHIELDBUG
TIGER CRANEFLY
and a
PINE CHAFER
but ALL out-bizzared by this almost totally albino / leucistic
PUFFIN
