Oxfordshire long weekend

Another rather pleasant weekend in Oxfordshire. I did Otmoor RSPB on Sunday morning, moth trapping and gardening at the Old Vic and a couple of family walks to Port Meadow and Brill Windmill. 
 Common Cuckoo at Otmoor 
 Red Kite picking off the wader chicks on Big Otmoor
 Sedge (above) and Reed (below) Warblers. Despite having Blyth's Reed and Marsh Warbler and Rose-coloured Starling and Quail radar on - nothing but common (and wonderful) birds 

 White Satin Moth 
 Double Sqaure Spot 
White-backed Marble, Hedya salicella at the Old Vic (moth lifer) 
 Fan Foot 
 Marbled Coronet. No it's just a Coronet (see comments)  
Hoary Bell, Eucosma cana 


All going well in the Old Vic garden - we harvested some strawberries this weekend

Think it's a Coronet, not Marbled Coronet
