A record shot (through a rather dirty kitchen window!) of a Grey Wagtail seen on the garden lawn last Saturday.
We had a further visit a few days later from two individuals.
We do get visits from Grey Wagtails occasionally - usually at this time of the year.
Garden Moths
I put the trap out last night - the first time for a couple of weeks.
Results were disappointing - just 12 Large Yellow Underwings and 1 Light Brown Apple Moth. Min Temp was 5.5 degrees centigrade.
Have switched the trap on again tonight - and hoping for better results!!
That's a lovely capture of the wagtail! I haven't had much in my moth trap the last two times I put it out as the temps were about 5 or 6 degrees as well. It's warmer at night now but it's raining, so that's no good. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mandy. Someone on Twitter did edit it and got rid of the misty effect from the window but I am not sure how to do that - one day might have the time to experiment with Photoshop!
DeleteDisappointing moth trap results here too at the weekend. Mainly Large Yellow Underwings, 1 Light Brown Apple although I did get Blair's Shoulder Knot (new for year). I tend not to trap when its raining as OH worries about electrics!
Great photo.. lovely looking bird :o)
