[Croome NationalTrust @NTCroome]

Thank you @BC_WestMids for a fascinating Moth Morning!
Over 35 different species of moths were found in the 4 traps they had set overnight including hawk moths & the cleverly disguised Buff Tip moth which looks like a twig!

[Elgar's Birthplace @NTTheFirs]

On this day in 1857, Edward William Elgar was born in this little cottage.

Elgar’s sister, Lucy, recalled his birth “How well I remember the day he was born! The air was sweet with the perfume of flowers, bees were humming and all the earth was lovely…”

Is it a bird? Is it an insect?? 🦗🐤

It's the wonderful & unmistakable sound of a Grasshopper warbler in the park at Croome!
