A Stone chatting
This may be a short thread but if you do come across anything during the month, this is the place for it.
My mothing year got off to a flying start with a lifer in the shape of this cracking Mottled Umber that flew to the kitchen window last night.
Extraordinary that with IRO 570 species on the garden list the first one of the year should be a new addition. Hopefully the sign of a better year to come - I more or less gave up with trapping last year due to the poor weather conditions. In contrast I had my best ever year of local birding, partly down to using the early morning for the birds rather than the moths.
