This Moth has been hanging around for a few days. I found it dead on the floor early am so took this photo, the flash was too bright but with guidance from DJS and looking at a Moth website, it's probably Svensson's Copper Underwing.
Saturday 29 August.
A slow start on Soil Hell in a cold N'ly blow. 1 Goldfinch & the Stonechat pr.
Ogden Res: 1 each GC Grebe & Cormorant. A pr Teal, 9 LBBG, c20 BHG, 1 Kingfisher seen briefly. 2 WW, 1 each GSW & Green Woodpecker. 3 Blackbird together feeding on a Rowan.
The golf course bottom had c25 Lesser Redpoll busily flying around stopping to perch a couple of times. They appeared to split up as I saw a bunch of half this number head up the track adjacent to the course some 15 minutes later.
10 Mistle Thrush were near the stile and what I believe to be the same Redstart previously seen was perched on the same fence spot. 1 Kestrel nearby.
Hunter Hill bottom was sporting c14 Swallow, 3 Stonechat also 3 each Goldfinch & Linnet.
Mixenden Res was quiet as usual. c18 BHG, 2 Sand Martin 3/4 House Martin.
