Two more

Finally, a couple of Angle Shades, such a nice distinctive moth and three Rusty-dot Pearls were NfG (145).
Three Willow Beauties were resting on the brickwork above the trap, one shown here.






















Later, very pleasant conditions on Butser, warm, blue skies and a nice breeze.
About 200+ hirundines over an hour with just a handful of Sand Martin.
A few Whitethroats and Chiffchaffs plus five Bullfinch and a flyover Tree Pipit.
A very brief flash of a red tail presumably belonged to a Redstart!!

My usual re-check of the trap just to ensure I've not missed anything was worthwhile today as a Turnip Moth was tucked up inside an egg box and was also NfG, not for the first time negating the post title!
