Lots of catching up to do, and a huge amount of year-listers added to the garden over the past 5 nights of generally warm nights (The coolest dropping to 9.6c and the warmest 13.8c).
The best moth has to be a garden first and moth species no.761 for the garden, a distinct Bactra furfurana from Monday night.
I looked at 3 Oiligia specimens from Thursday night at the weekend and managed to dissect one as Tawny Marbled Minor.
Two Hawks on Sunday night were admired by my 3-year old son come Monday morning.
I've only listed new for year species below.
Moth species for 2021 in the garden now stands at 114.
