@MJLbirder Thanks Marcus, yes seems it is Eastern Bordered Straw, my thoughts were that it was but getting that and Striped Hawk inland on my first trapping for ages just seemed a bit too good to be true! Hope you are well Mate 👍
Put the trap on for the first time this year! and got lucky with this Striped Hawkmoth and a Bordered Straw.. ObsIdentify is saying Eastern, wondered if anyone can confirm?
11 mile walk round Sandwich town and Sandwich Bay today @Sandwichbirdobs best bits were 2 Sedge Warblers, Swallow, Yellow Wagtail and Firecrest. Worth looked ripe for migrants, I only found a Ruff, but there were plenty birds around.
I’m displaying these originals and more at the Exhibition of Wildlife Art, Gordale Garden Centre, Burton South Wirral CH64 8TF
Open 25-27 July https://t.co/y6q2pDxJAY
