\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tA weekend of Butterflies & Moths, as the UK birding scene was rather tame in comparison to previous weekends. My overnight garden moth trap produced a superb Elephant hawkmoth when I emptied it on Saturday morning (9th July 2011), the first one this year. A total of 15 species was a disappointment for the time of year, with the only other good species being a Double Square-spot which, surprisingly, was  a garden tick.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tSunday 10th July 2011 was the annual trip to Fermyn Woods in Northamptonshire and we pulled in a site at Ketton in Rutland. A total of 18 species was seen during the day with highlights of 1 male Purple Emperor, 10 or so White Admiral, a very obliging Purple Hairstreak, several White-letter Hairstreak and some stunning Marbled Whites on the wing at Ketton. Also a Hummingbird Hawkmoth at Fermyn and White Plume moth at Ketton. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tMy butterfly list is 34 species so far for the year and my garden moth list is 72 species. (on an actinic light trap only)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tIMAGES – Elephant Hawkmoth; Double Square-spot; White Plume; Purple Emperor – male; Purple Hairstreak -male; Marbled White; Comma; Common Blue; Small Skipper.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
