The earliest I've recorded this, in my back garden last night.

Into second 'gear'

Or in other words, the second Pinion species of the year attracted to the garden trap: Tawny Pinion.

Had a rather dark example of Pale Pinion the same night so was able to get comparison shots too.

Springing into action

The last week has seen a steady stream of spring species to the garden trap, thanks to the mild weather. Including one for which I had a 'gap' year in 2013, Oak Beauty.



Twin-spotted Quaker



Pale Pinion



Double-striped Pug
