Moths


Vestal - an immigrant species.
 
I ran the moth trap last night and got a nice selection of autumn species. Very few birds today but two water rail beside the Maer long-stay carpark were noteworthy and a close-in guillemot off Exmouth Docks was nice.
 

Silver Y
 

Angle Shades - several of these trapped last night.
 

Black Rustic
 

Green-brindled Crescent
 

Pyrausta Despicata?
 

Red-line Quaker
 

Silver Y - a second, paler individual
 

Grey Shoulder-knot
 

Large Ranunculus
 
 
Lesser Yellow Underwing


Double-striped Pug


Above and below - juvenile Shags - Exmouth Docks. I think the above individual has a fishing hook in its foot.
