Good to see the first Argyresthia trifasciata of the year - recorded annually since the first county record from my garden on 16th May 2002. Perhaps surprisingly given the crap weather through most of April, this is the earliest appearance by a day.

Angle Shades

You really need to see it in life / 3D to appreciate the superb creased wing shape
