Moths

Had the moth trap running pre-bedtime last night, the clouds and lack of wind being the first appropriate night for a while. A nice little selection with Early Grey, 2 Dotted Border, Chestnut and a Satellite.

A walk up the Track this morning had me dancing a little jig as it was apparent that the hedge that was put in a few years ago and that had grown so high it blotted out the view to the Holt-Cromer Ridge had been hacked back to a reasonable height, and before the breeding season too! A Lesser Redpoll flew west calling.
