Glossy Ibis (presumed) flew in this evening
Purple Martin still around
Atlantic Canaries

A fairly quiet day on Corvo as winds persist from the north east. 3 Spoonbills arrived on Soa Miguel and a Glossy Ibis here so perhaps we should expect more arrivals from the continent. The Purple Martin is still present, a Buff-bellied Pipit still at the reservoir and a Red-eyed Vireo was in De Ponte.
The Fea's type Petrel is still offshore and an adult Pomarine Skua is also around.

The butterfly is Long-tailed Blue.
The moth is one of the Plusias for sure. The closest species I know which it looks like is Slender Burnished Brass but I suspect it's a species not even on my radar. No doubt closely related though. Island form?
Cheers
Just googled both of them and Long-taileds are regular here and so is Slender Burnished Brass. Only 150 species of moths and butterflies recorded for the Azores apparantely.
