This afternoon, this Brimstone showed how effective it's camouflage can be.
This monster moth I think is a Red Underwing
After work I popped down to Ravenstone Sewage Works. Lots of Warblers around especially Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers. I've been practising my 'pishing' technique lately, and it seemed to work tonight with as many as 5 inquisitive phylloscops coming to check me out.
Willow Warbler
There were 2 Grey Wagtails at the works, along with 4 Linnets and a couple of Stock Doves.

Nice find with the Redstart Rob.
ReplyDeleteThe Wheatear's pretty well camouflaged too lol
Good find though.
Hi Rob,
ReplyDeleteYes it's a Red Underwing moth, nearly trip over one in Near Hide at Linford - massive aren't they!
