Sunday August 7

After a week of work and not much wildlife watching I only have a couple of interesting micro-moths and a welcome Peacock butterfly to report.

The micro-moths were both potted in our bathroom this morning. Interestingly it appears that their National status is described as local in both cases, so I am not sure what their status in Worcestershire is.

Blastobasis adustella

Recurvaria leucatella
By the time I saw the Peacock butterfly it was blowing a gale in the back garden. This is the first here this year, and only the second I have seen anywhere in what must be an absolutely terrible year for them.
