Redshank over & return to the Broad- leaves
On Wednesday 24th July at 11.30pm, as I was checking what is left of the Runner Bean plants and picking off the Snails after yet more rain, I heard the unmistakable call of a single Redshank flying due south over the garden it called 3X.
On Friday 26th July, I returned to the Broad- leaved Helleborines delighted to find more plants totalling 14 all along the path. I saw Jeremy G and walking back, 2 girls were looking at something in the gutter, it turned out to be a tiny froglet, so I caught and released it by the pond on the nearby patch. An intersting micro moth was seen on the car too. Would love to know what it is?
POSTSCRIPT: Many thanks to Robert J. who kindly pointed out this was a Twenty-Plume Moth
