Cloak and daggers...

Saturdays odd moth was identified as a Cloaked Minor thanks to Sean at UKMoths and today four typically smart Dark/Grey Daggers were the best. A couple of thorns escaped, one a Dusky the other something different but both gone in a flash. Small Waved Umber was the 40th new species for the trap today and Tree Lichen Beauty up to ten for the month.

Biggest surprise was a full adult Dytiscus marginalis scuttling around which I repatriated to the pond where just the lone Reed Warbler, well hidden and singing his heart out.
