Blair's Mocha, Little Tern


My second garden Blair's Mocha.

Exmouth beach early on - 1 Common Sandpiper and 2 Common Terns offshore with large numbers of gulls. On Bull Hill - a quick scan revealed 1 Little Tern, 30+ Mediterranean Gulls, 1 Common Gull, 4+ Common Terns and 47+ Sandwich Terns. Mudbank - 2 Greenshank, 14 Whimbrel, 15 Mallard, 1 Canada Goose, 2 Common Terns, 5 Bar-tailed Godwits and 122+ Curlew. A Siskin flew over  the house.
Off Mudbank yesterday - 33 Mallard and 1 Common Gull of note.


Dark-bordered Pearl Evergestis limbata. The second one I've seen but a first for the garden here in Exmouth. Migrant last night were 1 Diamond-back, 2 Rusty Dot Pearl and 1 Dark Sword-grass.


Iron Prominent.


Ash-bark Knot-horn Euzophera pinguis.


Thistle Marble Lobesia abscisana. Think this is only my second garden record.


 Marbled Green. Good numbers around at the moment.


Southern Wainscot - don't see too many of these.


One of two Greenshank off Mudbank this morning.
