Sandwich Terns, Wheatears and Sand Martins have all been seen on patch today...but not by me! And that's not down to lack of trying....arrrggghhh!!!
Had a bit of a shocker tonight when I fired up the laptop. Just read how Robert Jutsum tripped over a white phased Gyr Falcon today on his patch at Saunton Sands, North Devon. Click HERE to see details of it....what a top find! It's one that's high on my 'want to find list' for sure.
Had the moth trap out again last night, and caught five moths again! They were: Early Thorn, Early Grey, two Common Quakers and this new one...
Oak Beauty - nice!
The Early Thorn was the first 'first generation' specimen I've ever caught - noticeably bigger than the insects I was catching last autumn.
I shall finish this short post with the promised picture of my handy work in the kitchen yesterday! Feast your eyes (not mouth - that was my job!) on this....
It tasted as good as it looks :-)
