Closed my moth trap at c5 am this morning and counted at least 7 Jersey Tigers around the pot, certainly the most I’ve had this year, have been averaging 2-0 most nights of late.
Later in the morning c 10am-ish, I noted the tits grazing the hedge, I’d looked away momentarily before (what I thought) out the corner of my eye was a “disturbed” JT flying out, had it under view (as best as one can with naked eye) for about 8-10 secs before it disappeared around the side of house.
Description- size/flight action as JT except that it was concolourously JT Red, without any other vestige of tint or tone, I was looking down on it from about 3metres.
How likely an aberrant of this type occurring, I recognise that to all intents and purposes unlikely, but has any extreme morph of this species occurred before….would any one know?
Cheers
