A brief, cold and breezy session at Launde Park Wood with Adrian last night brought a pretty modest catch. I'll post the list later, but the clear highlight and the main target for the session was this:

Lead-coloured Drab - not exactly a fresh or well marked individual, but look at the antennae on that

The only other yeartick from the session was a smart Purple Thorn. I thought I'd nab another couple of things to point the camera at anyway.

Brindled Pug

Engrailed - this one refuses to sit in a more classic pose

Garden trapping last night was pants.

Light Brown Apple Moth - rapidly becoming a garden rarity

Weather is crappy this morning, but a smart silent Chiffchaff was in the garden flitting about the over-hanging sallow blossom looking for breakfast.
