The weather has finally changed and spring is here in all its glory. The insects have returned as have some of the birds and at last I am able to get out and about (with my camera ) and observe it all unfolding. This blog is going to be an occasional record of what is happening in the natural world or at least as far as I am able to witness it and hopefully get a few pictures as well.
Purple Thorn Selenia Tetralunaria
This chap found his way into my porch overnight and obliged by showing himself off in the morning . I was able to grab a picture as I was dashing out to work. Took me ages to identify the species as most of the books and internet have pictures with the wings closed. Also discovered that there are over 2400 species of moth in the UK acording to the excellent site UK Moths and they have a huge number of pictures. I know because I trawlwed through most of them. I will be looking out for more moths (and Butterflies) to photograph over the coming months.
