Tawny Shears?
Apologies for the poor image.
I've have three of these over the last few nights and originally I thought they might be The Lychnis, which should just about be emerging. Something wasn't quite right and I now suspect that they are Tawny Shears because of the arrow shaped marks on the wing. The only problem is that they are 4 weeks earlier than the earliest record I can find in Cornwall and I am about 3 miles from the coast, although I am on the river. Am I going mad? Darrell |

Well I'm pretty sure it's not a lychnis.
