Geese week

It's been an enjoyable week here looking after the goslings before we take them to the Little Oak Farmstead tomorrow. Going to miss them. Shame we don't know whether we are staying or going round here or else we could have kept them here with us.

We missed a night of mothing last night due to a long power cut in the village, which also laid rest to any hopes we had that more of the remaining geese eggs would hatch. 

Other new for year moths since the last update below. Moth year list now on 303. 



Varied Coronet
Lobster moth 
Waved Black
Grapholita janthinana (I presume)
Mottled Beauty
Leopard Moth 
I messed up the sexing of our Ghost Mantis- the male is on the right and the female on the left
